Semaglutide appetite stalled at 1mg, anyone else hit this wall?

I’m about 10 weeks into semaglutide, and the first part was almost too easy. Food noise quieted down hard, and my weekly average dropped without me having to white-knuckle every meal. That part felt real to me, not gonna lie.
But lately it’s gotten weird. Appetite is back some days, not full-on ravenous, just enough that I notice it. Weight’s been flat for 3 weeks now, and my log is boring in the most annoying way. Sleep, hydration, and protein are all about the same, so I don’t think it’s just me being sloppy.
I’m not looking for a magic fix, just curious how folks tell the difference between a true plateau and just a rough stretch. I’ve been reading through the CagriSema page too, mostly because the dual appetite angle makes sense to my brain, but I’m trying to stay practical and not get shiny-object syndrome.
Anybody else have sema taper off on appetite before the scale moved again? I’m mostly watching trend weight, waist, and side effects, because that’s the only stuff that’s ever kept me honest.

- biohacker_priya: Yes, I hit a similar stretch where the first few weeks felt dramatic, then it got much flatter and I started second-guessing everything. For me, it seemed to matter more whether my calories and daily movement were steady than whether appetite was still obviously suppressed. A couple boring weeks did not mean much by itself, just my own experience. If your waist, trend weight, and side effects are still reasonable, I would not call it a failure yet. I would also be cautious about chasing a new s
- grace_rows: Yeah, that was my impression too, tbh. The “wow” phase can fade even when the trend is still doing something useful. For me it seemed more helpful to watch weekly averages, waist, and whether I was drifting on calories, not just whether appetite felt blunt every day.
