Food Noise return but then cant eat!

This isn't really an issue except its wasting food, so I have on the whole been eating healthily and having no food noise, and having to remind myself to eat. However today, for the first time, (on 10mg, which I took on Sunday so 3 days ago) I have had food noise, where I had to stop what I was doing and make myself some peanut butter on toast, the thoughts were interrupting my work which was annoying as day 3 is normally free from all thoughts of food and when my suppression is the highest. However, although my stomach was rumbling and I was really looking forward to tucking in to it, I ate one slice and then felt uncomfortably full and had to stop.

I understand the reason for the feeling full, slowed down gastric process etc, but I don't understand why the food noise returned. This is my 9th week on 10mg, and wonder if its time to go up but then as I still couldn't eat it all, maybe its OK, have any others had this where they feel so hungry and then cant face it when its cooked.

Mine hasn’t been as extreme but yesterday my brain wanted EVERYTHING and I couldn’t stop slicing (ok, very thin!) slivers off a block of cheese and then felt as full as if I’d completely stuffed myself and had to make myself eat a balanced dinner. Spent the rest of the evening in the sofa feeling like a whale!!

Day 6 of my 12th dose of 10mg 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I’ve found 10mg as really hard dose. I’ve stuck at it for a few months now as to begin with I had bad side effects including what I think were low blood sugar events. Some days I can’t eat at all which makes me feel light headed and awful, and then nearer the end of the week I have hunger return. It’s taken weeks to settle down and my weight loss has been extremely slow because of the ups and downs of appetite.

However, when you say food noise… was it hunger? Because I think it’s easy on this medication to aim for barely any hunger whatsoever, and sometimes your body pushes you quite firmly that you need some calories! Or was it food noise truly, in that you were constantly thinking about food and wanting to eat the whole kitchen?

Is your period due? I’ve been like this at all doses just before it arrives.

Sadly not :) I am 60 so periods a thing of the past. I took the golden does this weekend and not sure if I took slightly less than the full dose, I know there are differing opinions on taking this dose, but I am struggling a bit financially so wanted to make it last for 5 weeks rather than 4, so it may be I haven't had the right amount so the food noise returned.

When I took the golden dose I had the same, it was 5mg as not made it to 10mg but I def felt more hungry that week, so ended up taking my next jab early. I thought it was just psychological but potentially not now ive read this

Nothing different about the fifth dose to any other if taken properly. It could be that your body is more used to the dosage or that you would have had a funny day/week due to other factors.
