My provider was pretty firm on me bumping from 2.5 to 5 after 4 weeks. I’d lost 10 lbs those first 4 weeks and while I did get hungry, the food noise was so much less than normal, and the amount I needed to eat was less as well. So I stuck with it.
I’m exercising and choosing as healthy foods as possible. I’m 11 weeks in, still on 2.5 and have lost 26 lbs so far.
So just a reminder: while you do need to lose weight, don’t try to eliminate hunger completely. You need to learn to cope with it and choose well when you are hungry. Otherwise once you’re off the meds, it’ll all come back.

That’s my 2 cents
Cheers!
