Anyone else kinda like hunger?

It's the reverse for me. When my hunger is under control, I can take the time to consider healthy food options. Before, my body would scream for food, and I'd grab whatever was easiest and quickest. I must be at the ideal dose because I have no hunger and no adverse effects!
 
I've actually gone below my goal weight, so I skipped my dose this week so I could eat normally. It’s hard to eat healthy when I'm working and studying, and sema helped with the 'hangry' feeling, but now I need to feel hunger to be healthy, if that makes sense. Protein shakes and bars have helped with my schedule and the sema, but man, I could really go for a burger and want to be hungry enough to enjoy it, lol.

Edit: I started sema again to rebalance my gut/diet and reduce alcohol cravings. I started dry January and might just keep it going. I lost weight mainly from cutting sugar, dairy, and booze.

I will be on vacation in March and can't wait to enjoy a margarita without heartburn or other side effects!
 
I spent so much of my life fighting against my cravings that I love not being obsessively hungry! I'm at my goal weight and on maintenance now, and I can enjoy 'old foods' in moderation. I'm happier with half a burger and a few fries than I used to be with the whole thing and a huge pile. I guess it all depends on whether you think of GLP-1s as miracle drugs or punishment for past bad behavior! ;-)
 
You should probably lower your dose, that's what I've heard. It's OK to feel hungry if it's not overwhelming. If you're forgetting to eat or losing weight when you don't want to, try taking less medicine and see how it goes.
 
Since my appetite is nonexistent, I sometimes get unfocused and irritable in the afternoon. Turns out, if you forget to eat or don't crave food, you just run out of energy. Once I have a snack, I feel better. I'd prefer to get the cue from my stomach instead of realizing I'm just running on empty.

Yeah, that's my fear! I don't want to lose my hair or anything like that. I'm already losing weight pretty fast, so I'm going to talk to my doctor.

I totally get what you mean about not craving candy, @Just-Journey. I used to buy tons of discounted Valentine's Day candy, but this year, I didn't even think about it!

OMG me too! I always stock up after holidays, but I walked right past the candy aisle this year. Didn't even register.
 
I'm down about 20 pounds since late December! The appetite suppression was almost immediate for me. I was constantly thinking about food and always hungry. I never felt full and ate even when my stomach hurt. This medication shut all of that down and allowed me to make healthier choices and control my portions. It's amazing.
 
Don't crave sweets as much. Thought of it just passes. Eat candy, good after a few bites. Food's still good but I get full fast. Before I'd eat more just because it's tasty. Now easy to skip. Being full doesn't feel good. Before didn't bother me. Liberating. Something's missing though — an empty space. That's where the food noise lived. Peaceful now. Gonna fill it with good things.
 
Really messed up by misreading that dosage and taking ten times what I should. Only got a headache overnight. Would've panicked if I'd noticed right away. Super vigilant now and that won't happen again. Lucky it was something that didn't make me seriously sick. Anyone else mess up like this?
 
yeah police got me twice too with other packages, even left me a note about investigation if it happened again. stopped ordering after that, but honestly their hands are way too full to bother with small shipments. might be diff story if you're moving weight.
 
Noticed my finances improving since starting. Nights out, drinking, random shopping all decreased. I didn't force this either, stuff just stopped appealing. Anyone else catch this pattern?
