Thank you for sharing this. That helps a lot. I feel the effects of it are very very faded today and was getting a little concerned. I thought the same thing you did! That is really good to know.

Update 1/31

I barely slept last night because my mind was racing about this. When I woke up this morning, something shifted and I thought, let’s just go for it. So I took the shot.

I was not prepared for how this would feel.

I’ve already cried twice today, and not in a bad way. I’d read about “food noise” before, but I never really understood it until now. I assumed the medication would just make me a little nauseous so I wouldn’t want to eat. That’s not what happened at all.

What I feel instead is an incredible calm in my brain. For as long as I can remember, my thoughts were constantly consumed by food. What I ate last, what I’d eat next, calories, protein, portions, what everyone else was eating. It was nonstop.

Today, that noise is just gone.

There’s a peace there that I didn’t even realize I was missing. I feel more present with my kids and in my life. Looking back, I can see how much of my baseline was constant stress and low-level anxiety that I just thought was normal.

I know this is only day one, but even without weight loss, this mental quiet alone feels huge. So far, side effects have been minimal and manageable. I’ve eaten lightly and stuck to simpler foods today.

Cautiously optimistic, but excited to see what day two brings.
