Most lose 2–5 lbs (largely water and reduced intake). Some notice nothing. A minority gets significant nausea from week one. The notable early change is psychological: food thoughts become less intrusive.
"Food noise" noticeably quiets. Eating half-portions without effort is common. Weight loss picks up to 1–2 lbs/week. Nausea peaks in the first 2–3 days at each new dose increase, then fades. Constipation typically begins here.
The community "sweet spot." Strong appetite suppression and consistent scale movement. Physical changes visible around week 12. Energy improves.
