Appetite

How has everyone's appetite been since starting the medication? There have been days where I have not been hungry at all. I feel like I should eat because...nutrition. But I don't want to eat too much because if I'm not hungry at first, I don't stop feeling hungry after eating.

Thoughts?

    What dose are you on? I literally never feel hungry. I'm going up to 1.8 today. So, you get hungry after eating? That's odd. I feel so full and I feel like I've over- eaten. I go to bed terrified that I won't lose anything because I've eaten too much. But, everyday, I'm down something. Even though I'm not eating a lot, I am pretty consistent in the amount of calories I am consuming. Have you tried water? I've noticed I am quite dehydrated since starting.

    No, sorry. I'm almost done with 1.2 and I'm almost never hungry. I'm just concerned that I'm not eating enough since:
    1-I wouldn't be on this medicine if I had a healthy relationship with food
    2-I've heard that eating too little will prevent weight loss almost like eating too much.

    I just want to understand better.

    I am on 2.4 this week and have noticed a huge difference in my appetite, my portions are small and I find it a waste when someone asks me to eat out at lunch cause I can hardly finish a normal meal! I am down almost 12 lbs in the past 3 weeks. I start 3.0 on Friday.
