Feeling a little nausea is common during the first few weeks.

Here’s what helps most patients:

Eat smaller meals

Your stomach empties slower on GLP-1, smaller portions feel much better.

Choose gentle foods

  • Toast

  • Crackers

  • Yogurt

  • Eggs

  • Applesauce

  • Broth

Avoid heavy foods

  • Greasy meals

  • Big portions

  • Spicy foods

  • Fast eating

Hydrate slowly

Sip water instead of chugging it.

Side effects usually fade within 1–2 weeks as your body adjusts.
