Same, I'm on one of them and I still love and enjoy eating and am perfectly capable of eating my beloved junk food. I'm just highly likely to feel done after a few bites instead of... dozens and dozens of bites.

Losing the pleasure of food was one of my main concerns starting it, and it hasn't been an issue whatsoever.

Meanwhile, I'm back down to my healthy weight range, which I haven't seen since 2021, which was about the third time I'd been at that weight and then ballooned up. I was just about at the top of that range after two months, down about 30 pounds, and it took no effort whatsoever.

I feel amazing. Muscle mass is also doing fine, and I'm well into middle age so any protective properties of youth are largely gone, still having no problems there.

Same for me, I don't recognise those symptoms (loss of taste, loss of impulses). My understanding is that all it does it to replicate the signal the stomach sends when it is full, and so you just feel full / a bit burpy, even on an empty stomach. But you do enjoy the same taste than before the drug.

That being said side effects vary and lots of people mention it gives them nausea. I can easily imagine how that would interfere with taste.

I actually appreciate food far more now, because I am no longer worried that I have to consume “enough” food. A small amount is just as satisfying. A large amount makes me ill, and you only make that mistake once.
