Semaglutide/food aversion

[Anonymous]

I started a week ago and it is going well generally, I've lost 4lbs, I eat so much less, but vegetable and fruit are sort of blah to me now, and yogurt tastes like fish? Did anyone else have that? I usually end up having protein like chicken breast or a thin steak and one piece of fruit or a carrot, a small sandwich with meat/cheese and that's it.

You lost 4 lbs in a week and you just started?

What dosage did you start at?

It's a lot to lose 4 lb in the first week. I did not have food aversions, I did have a little bit of stomach upset very temporarily. I started on the lowest dose .25 mg

.25 mg as well. My stomach is not upset at all, but I am just much much less hungry.

Maybe it's just an adjustment period. You could try fruit smoothies if you want to get some fruit and vegetables in? I think the aversions will level off though.

Things will change week to week. Fruit turned out to be one of my favorite things because it’s light. And I’ve never been a big fruit person. I did lose my taste for wine. Be sure to drink a lot of water!

Your body will adjust, I wouldn’t stress about it. Just eat healthy with foods that you want for the moment.

If you lose too much in a week you can get gallbladder attacks and have to get it removed this happened to my friend.

I am doing it through Ivim and got a 3-month supply (semaglutide).

CVS where? Please let me know! Ones I have called do a search in their database within 20 miles and say no one has it.

I have the food aversion, especially to fats. Cheese leaves kind of a greasy taste in my mouth. I find that I want to eat bread, like a turkey sandwich, and I usually would rather eat a slice of cheese, so it seems like my body is saying to fats.

I like most everything still but I just want way, way, way less of it and flavors seem kind of dulled too, like less enjoyment, which is fine; I’ve enjoyed food enough for one lifetime. I don’t want sweets either. The only bad thing is that I also don’t want to drink as much water.

Saying no to fats

Everything tastes a little less good to me on semaglutide. I was surprised that I only want one coffee in the morning instead of two or three. I have no desire for alcohol at all. It also really affects my desire for quantity. I used to love eating large salads for lunch and now I can’t imagine putting back that much food. It’s really been a miracle drug for me.
