Ozempic food watch outs!

Alright, so just a heads-up since these meds really slow down how things move through you. I grabbed a small pizza and swapped a topping for some extra spicy peppers last night. Big mistake. Woke up like five hours later with the worst burning feeling. Super uncomfortable, and almost a full day later, I'm still feeling it. Just a friendly warning!
 
I haven't had any problems eating the stuff I normally do while on Ozempic. Only time I feel bad is when I eat too much, like past when I'm full.
 
I quickly learned that broccoli is a no-go on Ozempic. And raw cauliflower with dip gives me a lot of pain. Also raw onion in salads, and coleslaw are bad news. Cooked veggies are fine for me, and I can handle carrots. I really have to be careful what goes into my salads. I had to ease up with the hot sauce too lol
 
I had some ramen at 10 PM and then worked out the next morning at 10 AM and threw it all up. Would not recommend that combo. 😭
 
I thought I could eat a sausage from a takeaway place. Wrong. The next day, I had to ditch my grocery cart and rush home. Cold sweats, cramps, the whole deal. Lesson learned.
 
I made the mistake of giving in to the munchies after a gummy and regretted it. A late-night peanut butter and jelly sandwich wasn't so good the second time around. Now, I just have a protein shake. 🤣
 
Your mileage may vary, but setting up a constipation plan is key for me.

I've always had slow digestion, so I take two magnesium citrate gummies in the AM and two more at night, plus a dose of Miralax daily. I poop every day. (50 calories for the gummies, if you're counting.)

I had a good laugh yesterday, reading my food journal from the first few months. I was frustrated that I wasn’t losing weight when I was eating junk. A friend helped me face reality. Stopped food deliveries. Got serious about fat and sugar. Started eating protein first at every meal. That's when the weight started coming off.
 
I just got through a five-day period where my gut just stopped. And I threw up a lot. Sometimes it’s just that gastroparesis. I hope it gets better for you, but I am over Ozempic. Five days of constipation and vomiting up next to nothing is awful.
 
Yeah I'm also finding coffee hits way different now. Anyone else notice that? I used to easily drink like 3 large cups in the morning, now one sometimes makes me feel like I'm vibrating. It's wild!
 
I totally get the coffee thing, ShapeFit. I used to drink coffee all morning but now, it gives me the jitters so I have one, maybe two cups. It doesn't taste the same either, it's weird.
