I used saxenda, and now mounjaro - I've always struggled with food noise and I don't think many non obese people are aware of how life consuming this is.

All I used to do was wake up and wonder what food I was going to have, when I was going to have it, how much. It's like that ruminating voice in your head when you're depressed - it's just there all the time constant.

On these drugs it's just not.

Any reason you moved between these in particular? Victoza/Saxenda have had some weird side effects that are not quite shared with semaglutide/tirzepatide I've seen in the past.

Thanks for this insight into what food noise is like
