Dose Day Eve Shenanigans!

[PeptideGal902]

I'm suddenly eyeing up all the sugary stuff!

 

[GeekyKing466]

Wow, some people here seem overly serious. Glad my sense of humor is still intact even with this medication!

 

[NoShortcuts]

So that's why I devoured a box of cookies last night! Just started on this journey, and my next injection is due today. I was wondering why I felt so hungry!

 

[Taylor37]

Totally! I do my shot on Fridays so I don't overindulge during the weekend. I always look forward to a nice meal or snack and a movie that night.

For a sec, I thought those were some seriously messed-up knees

 

[FoxIMO]

Looks like I'm not the only one experiencing this!

 

[Calorie_Great]

I don't get the joke.

 

[PeptideGal902]

I'm lost too.

The appetite suppression hit me pretty fast. Most days I'm just doing two meals, maybe three around dose day. That food noise definitely quiets down once you find your therapeutic window.

I tend to wear my comfy clothes the day before injection day, too.

 

[GeekyKing466]

It's so true! I can look at pastries at work and think 'nah,' whereas I never could before.

 

[NoShortcuts]

Seriously! I'm taking my shot tomorrow morning, and I'm absolutely ravenous today. I already had breakfast and lunch, and it's only 10 AM!

 

[Taylor37]

That's me, but with beef. I can barely eat beef on this, but the day or two before my shot, I'm making up for it.

 

[Cellxx]

Same here. I'm super hungry. I enjoy a Sunday roast, and I haven't had to give that up. But on Monday evenings, meat is a big no-no.

 

[FoxIMO]

Dose night is the only night I can handle any alcohol.

 

[Calorie_Great]

I get it! I took my first shot a week ago Friday, and this past Thursday, I was starving! But because of this forum, I knew it was going to happen.

 

[GeekyKing466]

I totally agree with @NoShortcuts! The diminished cravings are HUGE. I feel like a normal person around food now. I actually went off my medication for a few weeks due to travel, and it was TERRIBLE!

It's amazing how this stuff changes your relationship with food. The other day, I ordered a steak, and I could barely eat half of it. It would have been unthinkable before!

That's awesome! It really makes you think about what your body really needs, not just what you want. It's like having training wheels for a healthier lifestyle.

So it's normal to feel extra hungry right before injection day? Good to know!
