When did the suppression start?

I’m so impatient, I know, but it’s day 1 (took first 2.5 MJ this morning) and I’m wondering when you started to feel the effects? I’ve definitely felt fuller for longer today but I’m currently very hungry and trying to not fall into a bag of crisps! I hoping tomorrow will be a better day.

I hate to tell you but I only started to feel it when I moved up to 10mg. Hopefully you will experience suppression much sooner but not everyone does.

Not until 10mg.

On 7.5mg and don't have suppression. I do feel full with less food and make far better food choices. But I feel hunger and I never want to miss a meal.

I had suppression on day 1 of 2.5mg but it had worn off by day 5 each week while I was on 2.5mg. now I'm on 5mg the suppression is lasting all week pretty much

I’m on my 3rd week of 2.5mg.
I had great suppression on days 2-7 of week 1 but it’s pretty much disappeared now as my body has got used to it. I do get fuller quicker though so portions are smaller. I’m also less bothered about booze.

Hit me like a blooming train week one 😆 took me a month to actually get into it and I was worried I’d never eat again.. stopped at 7.5mg

The day after my first injection, but I have been OK staying on 2.5 for 10 weeks whereas most people need a lot more.

I don't have as strong a suppression now but it's enough to allow me to stick to my diet without binging so is working at the moment. I may have to move up in the future.

I had a noticeable effect the day after the 1st jab but it was mild.

Bigfatsunandclouds · 19/05/2025 14:45

From day 1, but as a pp said it started to wane on day 5 so I went up to 5mg and my suppression is great from day 1 and lasts all week.

SunnyDaysAllDay · 19/05/2025 15:53

I’m on day 2 and it’s mild but there. I fill up very quickly as today I could only eat half my lunch and then felt totally stuffed. 3 hours later, I was genuinely hungry again. So I think so far it’s stopping me from eating so much in one sitting and my portion sizes are significantly reduced. I’d love to get to the point of just not feeling hungry but I’ll be patient with myself.

I had it from day 2. It fades around day 6 for me though every week so there’s always that one day when I eat more!

First time around I was a ‘super responder’ and felt suppression straight away , this time it’s taken til 7.5 to start
