Nausea

This is my 5th week with ozempic. It's the second week on the 1 MG dose per week. I have substantial nausea, I have a hard time eating which apparently part of the treatment. Is this normal? On top of it I've lost the same three pounds about three times now!! It's very frustrating!

Nausea hit me hardest the first couple weeks after each bump. It eased off once my body caught up. Does it seem worse on shot day or is it pretty constant?

I had the same thing after my dose went up. Eating got easier once I stopped forcing full meals and just did small bits through the day

I was queasy for a good week after each bump too

How long has the nausea been hanging around since you went to 1 mg? Mine faded after about a week and a half at each bump, but that stretch of barely eating was rough

Did the nausea hit right when you went up to 1 mg? Mine ramped up for maybe ten days after each bump and then settled down

Did the nausea hit right after the jump to 1mg or build up over those two weeks? Mine came on day two after the bump and then faded

Mine was rough right after the 1mg jump too, and what caught me off guard was how much worse it got when I let myself get too empty. Did the crackers thing actually cut it for you or just take the edge off?

Did the nausea hit right after injection day or was it steady all week? Mine clustered in the first two days after the bump, which made it easier to plan around.

I'm only 5 lbs in myself and already bouncing around the same 2 or 3

What got me through the 1mg stretch was keeping crackers by the bed and eating a few before I sat up. Sounds dumb but it took the edge off.

The empty stomach thing is real for me too. A few crackers before I even get out of bed made the morning after my shot way less brutal.

The three pound bounce is real, mine did that for almost two weeks after each step up. Are you eating much on shot day itself or does the nausea hit a day later?

Curious whether your nausea hits harder the day after the shot or if it's just constant all week? Mine clustered right after dose day and faded by the weekend

My nausea hit hardest right after each bump up in dose, and it faded over a week or so once my body caught up. Eating tiny amounts more often was the only thing that kept me functional on those days.

week 5 and 6 on 1mg were my roughest for nausea too, it faded once my body settled into that dose. I lost and regained the same couple pounds for a stretch as well, bodies are weird like that.

That stuck-at-the-same-number pattern drove me nuts too around the same point, then whooshed again once things settled. I'm down about 14 lbs now and the queasy stretch was real but it did pass. Crackers and ginger tea were my friends those weeks.

Does the nausea hit harder a day or two after your shot? Mine did on 7.5 and eating a real breakfast instead of just coffee seemed to blunt it.

What did the nausea look like for you in week five compared to week two? Mine was worst right after the jump, then it settled into more of an all-day background queasiness.

Did the nausea hit right after you went up to 1mg? Mine was worst the first few days of each new dose then backed off, so if yours is hanging on past that it might be worth mentioning to your doc
