Gained 3lbs on 0.25 of wegovy, going up to 0.5

I lost nearly ten stone on mounjaro. I had to stop due to the cost and after around a month’s break started on 0.25 of wegovy. The first few days felt great, then I found the food noises creeping back. Is it true it takes until 1mg or even more to feel a difference? I’ve just taken my first 0.5 jab!

Tbh I found the food noise hasn't gone away like it did on Mounjaro. I'm on 2.4mg. Swapped from 15mg Mounjaro due to cost and side effects (constant irritation and bruising at injection site). I've considered going back to Mounjaro as it seems pointless paying for no real food noise suppression or weight loss.

So far I feel like 0.5 has helped me a lot, but it’s only my first morning. I found the food noise came back towards the end with mounjaro! It’s just such a minefield isn’t it? I hope that the mounjaro prices shift downward at some point
