No it really does change what kind of food you desire to eat. It was quite a surreal change for me when I discovered I was craving the juicy taste of a tomato for the first time.

I don’t know if it is normal for others, but I have never ever had the actual desire to eat vegetables before I went on ozempic/wegovy.

Salty sausage, crisps, cheese, bacon, that was the only types of food I used to crave. Now I cannot eat bacon anymore, the fat taste in my mouth makes me queasy.

It’s just not the entire story. Ozempic/wegovy changes the way you feel about food.

I used to always want to eat a lot. And if there was candy on the table within my sight, like 80% of my mental focus would be on that candy, no matter how hard I tried to focus on something else.

Now it’s more like, meh I guess I could take a piece of candy, and then I get lost in talking and forget to actually put it in my mouth until half an hour later.

It is definitely not just appetite suppression. I used to overeat a lot, even after feeling quite a lot of pain from beeing stuffed, I would keep eating. Now I forget to eat, if I don’t have people around me going to lunch.

The soothing, rewarding pleasure of swallowing sugar, fat or salty food I used to need to feel good is just gone most of the time.

To some degree it feels like I have been set free.
