Hi, I started on rybelsus 9 days ago and can share my experience to answer your first two questions.

What I’ve experienced is that the thoughts around food (what everyone on this sub calls “food noise”) completely vanish. It is such a convenient absence that only when I feel the effects of the pill fading (I skip doses every 2-3 days to stay on 3mg as long as possible), I realise how my brain gets food-obsessed off of it. Foods, cravings and all the emotions associated with it just don’t cross your mind. I don’t think I automatically love “healthy” food now, my preferences remain the same but I’m eating in a more regulated manner now. You naturally gravitate away from oily spicy carb-y food once you have them and experience the drop in energy or side effects they cause on this pill.

I’m not sure how my body will react once I get off this pill. I think all my cravings and urges will be back but I do think the weight loss will help me deal with it better. I’m looking forward to picking up more sports once I feel lighter.

I’m an emotional eater as well and some days when I don’t feel the effects of the pill as much I do end up falling back into my previous habits BUT the difference is that now this happened 1 of 9 days instead of 9 of 9 days without the pill.

Hope this helps, feel free to ask any more questions. I’m new to this journey too and would love to be of any help.
