Was GLP-1 oral? Those off-brand lozenges don't do anything.

A real GLP-1 slows down digestion so much that if you try to overeat you'll regret it. You'll still be uncomfortably full and ready to throw up on day 2 after that big meal.

Hmm, I've got Rybelsus, it did something. I can reduce my daily meal from 3 to 1 lately, and even on 2 meals I can eat half of it compared to what I typically eats ordinarily, to get full appetite.

Still, with all the things I've tried I still gained weight. And I have been noticably getting harder to sleep at night because the hungry feelings comes back. Maybe it is the oral Rybelsus waning off idk

		yeah definitely try to get on injections if you can, you should be struggling to stomach food after two meals a day if it's in full effect. then be sure to get extra fiber and protein from somewhere. and my biggest suggestion is always to just not keep and snacks or extra food in your home - keep what you need for planned meals and maybe some apples or similar on the side. very dark chocolate is also decent for some flavor that's low impact imo

		Rybelsus is remarkably less effective than the injections (both in my personal experience, and according to the science), and it's also very hard to take properly. I would not extrapolate from that. It also takes about 30 days to hit a useful dosage. If you're interested in GLP1s, either get the injections, or see if you can source some Foundayo / orforglipron.
