+1 to LarryQC_SD. Especially the point about "ObesityMed perspective but I think this ..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with I literally cannot eat.

Want to share my personal experience related to I literally cannot eat more since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 268 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 14 months later: I am down 88 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The I literally cannot aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

SarahChen_PharmD — that is really helpful context on I literally cannot eat. Follow-up question: did you change anything about your diet at the same time?

I am in a similar situation (month 2) and trying to set realistic expectations.

To answer AussieAnna's question specifically:

From a clinical standpoint, I literally cannot eat more is well-supported by the literature.

The short answer: follow the standard titration protocol and reassess at 4-6 weeks.

The longer answer involves pharmacokinetic considerations around steady-state concentrations, which I am happy to elaborate on if helpful.
