Wegovy related - Anyone else eat because they enjoy the texture?

I'm not an emotional eater.
I eat regular meals.
My problem is that I really enjoy the texture and sensation of eating. I get addicted to the feeling of eating certain foods, such as crisp cucumber in bread with crunchy salt and soft bread. It's not so much the taste.

With this in mind, would Wegovy work for me?

I also like this kind of thing but you can still eat crunchy foods on Wegovy, yes. I mean it is the taste you just described your ideal meal being a salt sandwich. Don’t kid yourself! You might need to just take out crisps and replace with crunchy veg?

@Menora I suppose I mean if it's sort of sensory seeking behaviour which leads me to overeat, will it address that? As I'm not really eating due to hunger, but pleasure.

My husband has been on it for a while, his dose was upped recently. Wegovy suppresses appetite so he does not really get cravings anymore and he does not eat for pleasure anymore. He also gets full very quickly so from what you have described, I don't think you will eat loads of your favourite foods whilst on it as you may not want to eat apart from eating for sustenance or if you still crave something, you will have a lot less of it.

@Edsspecialsauce yes it will likely help as you aren’t as interested in food when you take Wegovy
but if you eating a lot of salty foods then it is likely you also are enjoying the sensation and feeling from eating salt as much as you like the texture because plenty of non salty food is also crunchy
