[QUOTE="Pacman, post: 233259, member: 2450"] [U]Update to the update:[/U] [B]It's definitely working.[/B] Just not in the way I was expecting. I was expecting to be nauseous all the time and barely able to hold food down (as you can tell by my first post I was preparing for the worst). That is not what is happening luckily. It's very mild in its effects (as of right now at least, week 1 @ 0.25mg). Appetite is noticeably lower, not by a huge margin, but certainly a noticeable margin. And the sides (for now) are very mild. There is a tiny bit of nausea, but it comes and goes and usually it is in response to eating a large amount of food, it doesn't typically happen by itself. I do notice also that when I eat a large 800-900 calorie meal, the satiety seems to be lasting much longer than I am used to. So that's good. On Saturday (the day I was ravenously hungry and binged, the day after injection) I did eat 3650 calories for the day. Still pretty high, roughly 500 calories above maintenance. At first I thought "okay this is obviously not working, since I binged, it is supposed to prevent that from occurring". But I looked at my calorie count for similar days when I was just as hungry, and my average calorie intake on those days were in the 3800-4200 calorie range. So week 1 of 0.25mg Semaglutide[B] I ate 150-550 calories less [/B]than I would have otherwise on a day that I did [I]not[/I] hold myself back from indulging in food when I felt ravenously hungry. And yesterday I was feeling a lot of pain in my shoulder and was also not hungry at all in the evening. Due to the shoulder pain I took Tylenol and also smoked cannabis to help me relax and deal with the pain. About 40 minutes later I got real hungry and ate. I just let myself eat what I wanted, I just wanted to relax and go to sleep. Calorie count for yesterday 2900 calories. On days where I would get the munchies like yesterday (hunger due to weed and not due to being hungry otherwise), I would have easily eaten 3200-3500 calories without hesitation. So yesterday, even with weed munchies, I still [B]ate roughly 300-600 calories less[/B] than I would have otherwise in similar circumstances before Semaglutide. Btw, on both days I just responded to my hunger signals, I was paying attention to the amounts I was eating, but I was also not holding myself back. If I was still hungry, I added more food and I ate until I wasn't. I will work on increasing my own self-discipline with eating, as I do want to take as little as possible of this medication. In my mind, Semaglutide is a [I]tool[/I], and not a solution by itself. But wow so far I am impressed. I am really hoping this is not some fluke and it will continue to work at least as well as I have observed in the past two days. [/QUOTE]
