I just don't care about eating anymore. The medicine makes your mind a bit weird in that regard.

I’ve lost about 5 on the last 2 summer vacations. Lots of walking and hot weather plus the travel days on either end.
I am so curious to experience this first hand. I was formerly morbidly obese and have since channeled by tendencies in to non-destructive behavior. I have a good body composition these days, but the mental space is still 'living between meals'.
I did some fishing around with my GP to see how receptive he would be for a low dose GLP-1 option without much hope. He was more positive than I expected. Mentioned insurance likely wouldn't cover it, but he trusts a compounding pharmacy in town and would be willing to send through that route.
I have never recovered from that portion of being obese (or maybe it is why I became obese in the first place). I want to know what 'normal' hunger cues feel like or at least get closer. I kind of know now through consistent reinforcement and tracking, but the idea that some people push food away and are like 'nah, I'm good' blows my mind.

It is tough to explain sufficiently, but the first time it happened I immediately thought wait this is how normal people feel??
In my case I felt it immediately on the lowest dose of ozempic as if someone flipped a switch on day 1, and aside from a few rare occasions it had never been switched again. There are.some occasions towards the end of my shot (day 5/6) where I get a little hungry.
I do still get hungry around normal meals and I still fat order (ie my mind still thinks I need to eat everything), but I find at certain point my mind goes nope you're good stop eating. I have NEVER had that in my life before this. I could never stop eating.
