No appetite - force feed?

Hong Kong Yanpep International
Same thing happened to me. Even if it doesn't feel like it works, it still does. Thought I was just more disciplined but I'd been dieting four months before starting. Now cravings just aren't as strong—lost about 3 pounds first week from that alone.
 
food noise is real. atomic habits—stack small changes over time while the med's working. brain chemistry + habit mechanics. none of us were born with this noise anyway.
 
Zero appetite from day one with protein drinks covering it is the cleanest version of this experience - liquid protein at split intervals is the practical fix when solids don't appeal.
 
the academic research presentation format is one of the most useful ways to get past the commercial framing of GLP-1 results - conference presentations from clinical researchers at university medical programs tend to show the full data including the non-responders and the effect-size distributions, which gives a more realistic picture than the promotional summary. the appetite suppression mechanism discussion in that context covers the boredom-and-cravings question more rigorously than most community discussions do
 
13 weeks at 3mg and the zero desire to eat on Sema versus the slightly different texture on Reta is a useful comparison. The Sema effect tends to be more complete suppression while Reta varies more by timing and dose. Bumping from 2 to 3mg is usually when the experience starts to clarify. Are you force-feeding at 3mg or is the window still manageable?
 
The 1mg peak and then it not quite holding at the same level is such a common story. A lot of people find the first few weeks at a dose are the best window for suppression and then things adjust. Going to 2mg is usually the next step when that happens. Have you talked to your provider about titrating up?
 
Started this past Sunday and already down 3 kilos. Hunger's basically gone at this point, feels weird not eating much at all. Getting by on some yogurt and a bit of fruit spaced out through the day, plus one protein shake.
 
Congrats! I'm at 160 now, started this past Wednesday and it's been going great so far. Didn't want to eat at all at first, but started managing a bit more today. Any idea how to avoid hair loss with this? How'd you handle it?
 
Keep burping up whatever I ate earlier, seems like it's just sitting there undigested. Downside I've noticed so far. On my second shot now. Basically zero appetite, only eating when my stomach actually protests.
 
With your appetite down like that, still managing solid meals and enough fluids? Protein drinks alongside electrolyte mixes could really help fill the gap. Drink noticeably more water than feels necessary. Hoping this improves for you soon!
 
Everyone responds differently. Some get complete appetite shutdown, others barely notice a change, most land somewhere in between. Stay hydrated, add extra protein, get some movement in. Mounjaro's really just one piece of the puzzle, let it support the rest.
 
At 10mg every sixth day, appetite suppression's still basically nonexistent for me. That said, the first couple days after injecting I do fill up fast on small portions, have to push myself a bit to finish. By day four everything feels back to baseline. Well....loosely speaking anyway, since normal might not describe me generally....
 
For me it meant I could think about foods I like without having to have them. Proof: nine of ten peanut butter cups from my mother-in-law have sat untouched since Easter. Telling mouth hunger apart from actual hunger took some learning. I kept checking whether I still wanted snacks, and it seemed I did, until I realized that whenever I was busy with other things and not focused on food, it wasnt bothering me. A craving also needed far less to be satisfied (5 fries, 5 chips, a piece or two of chocolate) when I gave in. The old pattern, a thought then a need to devour all of it at once, disappeared. Nine months on, the suppression has faded somewhat, yet Tirz continues to put me in charge of my cravings instead of the other way around.
