Just finished week 3 of semaglutide and the nausea is finally backing off. Things that helped me, in case anyone is suffering through it: 1. Eat smaller portions, even smaller than you think (think half a sandwich, not a whole one) 2. Avoid greasy or fried food for at least the first 2 weeks 3. Ginger tea or ginger chews after eating 4. Cold drinks tend to settle better than hot ones for me 5. Don't lie down for at least an hour after a meal If you're still struggling, talk to your doctor about Zofran. It made a huge difference for me on the worst days.

Started at 247, hit 225 this morning. I'm a 5'9" guy, 38, type 2 diabetic. A1c went from 8.1 → 6.4 in the same window which honestly matters more to me than the scale. My boring routine: - 5 mg weekly, Sunday morning - 130-150g protein/day - Walk 8k steps minimum - One "normal" meal a week so I don't feel deprived Happy to answer anything.

Three weeks in on semaglutide and the sulfur burps are ruining my life. Tried: - Smaller meals → still happens - No high-fat food the day of injection → still happens - Pepto → marginal help, lasts maybe 2 hours My NP suggested Pepcid AC the night before. Anyone tried that? Or Beano? Willing to try anything at this point.

Three weeks on 2.5mg and I'm dreaming like I'm in a movie every single night. Not nightmares, just hyper-vivid weird stuff — last night I was teaching algebra to a moose. I checked the side effect list and it's not officially listed but I keep seeing scattered reports online. Is this a thing for anyone else? Wondering if it's the medication or just because I'm sleeping deeper now.

Resting heart rate is normally around 70. The day of and day after my Mounjaro shot it's been climbing to 90-95 just sitting on the couch. My BP is normal. No chest pain or anything scary, just feels weird. My doctor's office said "that can happen, monitor it." Anyone else experience this? It mostly goes away by day 3 post-injection but I'd love to know I'm not the only one.

I'm 6 weeks into Wegovy and noticed I have zero interest in alcohol. Used to have a glass of wine every night, now the smell is almost off-putting. My doctor mentioned it can affect dopamine pathways but didn't elaborate. Anyone else experience this? Is it permanent? Honestly not complaining but it caught me off guard completely.
