Feeling the physical effects of hunger but no actual hunger

I'm on my 4th jab of 7.5. I felt like it wasn't working for ages, injected last night and the suppression is insane.

I've had a coffee, an apple and some cheese all day. 359 calories.

Physically I feel like I should be hungry. I have a headache and I'm a little shaky.

But I'm not hungry at all. Water is satisfying me and nothing sounds good.

What do I do?! I don't fancy anything to eat at all

You still need to eat even if you don't feel hungry. Meal prepping is useful for this, have something in the fridge ready to just heat and eat. Soup, a serving of casserole, something that's easy and nutritious

To be honest, I wouldn't worry. It will ease off and you'll be able to eat a healthy balanced meal soon enough.
I had a similar issue a few months back and I bought a bottle of huel and sipped on that throughout the day. Only 400 cals for the day but at least I was getting something in my system.

I've just gone onto 12.5 and l wish l hadn't.. I've been fine up until now.
17th week.
Lost nearly 3 stone. I don't like this feeling. It's like morning sickness.
Yesterday l had one slice of toast and some tomato soup and grapes.
Today I've had one slice of toast and some grapes.
I know I'm going to have to eat more and once I've had it I'll be okay.
But l don't fancy anything. I've no energy to make anything. I just want to lay in bed with electric blanket on. My legs are aching from thigh to toe.
Never had this on the other doses.
I'm going to miss a week or two then start low again but not above 10mg or even 7.5mg..
7.5 was most suppressant and less side effects.

I find that even if I’m hungry, I just am not bothered about eating… though no shakes or headaches.
i just notice I’m hungry, and then realise I don’t really fancy eating anything.

Op, I just power through and eat, you usually find you can manage as you just found out.
