GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro work. But let’s be honest, they don’t always feel great in the beginning.
Nausea, bloating, constipation, or unpredictable appetite? You’re not alone. But that doesn’t mean you have to suffer silently.
Here are 5 advanced tips to manage the most common side effects effectively 👇
💡 1. Time your dose with purpose
If mornings make you queasy, try an evening dose (with medical approval). Aligning with your natural hunger and digestion patterns can reduce nausea.
💡 2. Master your meal timing + composition
Avoid large or fatty meals. Instead, opt for small, protein-rich, low-fat meals every 3–4 hours. This helps stabilise your blood sugar and reduce GI upset.
💡 3. Don’t force-feed or starve yourself
Some people lose appetite completely and then binge later. Honour your true hunger signals and keep snacks like plain crackers, bone broth, or Greek yoghurt handy.
💡 4. Rotate injection sites properly
Don’t keep injecting in the same spot — rotate between thighs, abdomen, and upper arms. This reduces site reactions and helps absorption.
💡 5. Be patient, but proactive
Side effects are most intense in the first few weeks. If symptoms persist or worsen, don’t just wait it out. Get help adjusting your dose or treatment plan.
✨These tips aren’t just surface-level, they’re from lived experience and medical expertise.
