Starting to feel starving when I shouldn't be again
Hi all, I'm getting really frustrated with myself. I've been taking 7.5mg for 9? Months and things have been slow and steady, like 30 pounds lost. However since the holidays it seems like hunger has been slowly creeping back at times it shouldn't be and has gotten really bad this week. I'll be extremely hungry an hour after I eat a normal dinner, or starving a few hours after breakfast when I used to be able to make it almost to dinner without feeling hungry.
This is why I started the med in the first place - uncontrollable hunger no matter what I did when I'm already eating enough and obese/overweight!
The final straw and what is bringing me to post (long time listener first time caller) is that I am now starting to gain weight.
Do I just need to increase my dose? I am scared of that because when I was on wegovy we aggressively increased dose until I was at the highest dose and it still didn't work so I had nowhere to go but try a new med.
Thanks for listening and letting me vent. It's really affecting my mental health and the feeling of going backwards despite the injections makes me feel like I'm going crazy.
