I had an aversion to white wine, anything really strong smelling or spicy, and tomato sauce for a while. Also had an aversion to fried foods but I had that before due to gall bladder surgery. That’s mostly faded now. I’ve lost 37 lbs and starting to taper down.

Everyone that starts a diet generally loses 3-5 the first week - most of it is just your body dumping water. Besides weight loss isn’t linear - mostly due to water retention. I could lose nothing for a month but day 31 I’ll drop 4 pounds overnight as my water release- then I’ll be up a pound for a couple of weeks and then down 3. I probably average a pound a week but my chart doesn’t read that way.

I've been on it for a year and have no specific food aversions, but food and alcohol just don't taste as good or irresistible to me, even when I'm eating something I used to really enjoy. TBH that does take a lot of pleasure out of life, but I'm losing weight for health reasons so I've come to accept it.

Orrrrrr..... people are different and have different experiences with the same drug.

It takes 3-4 weeks for you to get to the full effects of the dose you are on. So if you feel aversion now, you may feel worse or less hungry later. I am on it and have lost 35 but I am at a holding dose right now. After several dose increases over time, I just feel bad a lot. So I went back a dose to give my system and my mental health a break. Still losing but my slower now and that is ok. It’s a powerful drug.
