Rough patch? You're not alone. This is the thread to ask for support with nausea, fatigue, constipation, sulfur burps — all the unglamorous parts. Share what's helped you, and remember: this is peer support, NOT medical advice. If a symptom is severe or scary, call your prescriber or seek care. We're here for the day-to-day stuff.

Sulfur burps showed up for me only on injection day, weirdly specific timing. Anyone else notice theirs clusters around a certain day of the week?

Sulfur burps showed up for me when I ate eggs too, and cutting them out for a bit settled it. Still eat them now with no problem.

The sulfur burps caught me off guard because nobody warned me about them. Cutting back on eggs at breakfast is what settled mine down.

The fatigue hit me harder than the nausea, usually the day after my shot.

Those sulfur burps hit me around week two and smaller evening meals helped more than I expected. Still get them if I eat late though.

What time of day are the sulfur burps hitting you? Mine were always worst right after my evening meal, so I started treating lunch as my main meal and it settled down a lot

honestly, what got me was carbonation, sparkling water at dinner and the burps would show up an hour later like clockwork. Dropped it for two weeks and they mostly went away.

Constipation is what got me too, and water tracking honestly surprised me. Are you getting any protein in on the days you feel too queasy to eat much?

The sulfur burps hit me on day three after my first dose and I could taste them all morning. Chewing ice chips seemed to blunt it for me, though I have no idea why it worked.

Constipation is the one that snuck up on me, didn't show until a few weeks in and then it was every day. Did yours start right away or build up slowly?

tbh what helped me with the burps was paying attention to which foods set them off, eggs were fine but anything greasy was a no.

sulfur burps hit me after a heavy takeout meal too, though mine showed up two days later rather than the next morning. Did cutting the fried stuff actually stop them completely or just make them less frequent?

honestly, did the sulfur burps hit after any particular food for you, or just randomly? Mine showed up after a greasy dinner and I've been side-eyeing takeout ever since.

Ginger chews are in my bag too. Greasy food gets me the next morning like clockwork, and I'm only a couple pounds down so it's clearly not about how much I've lost.

Late heavy dinners get me too, so I shifted my bigger meal to midday and keep the evening one light.

Fatigue hit me harder than the burps, usually the day after my shot. I started timing my injections before a quiet weekend and that helped me plan around it.

Portion size was mine too, not the fat content. A big plate of plain chicken and rice did it just the same.

The portion thing is what I keep coming back to. Did halving servings actually stop the burps for you or just make them less frequent?

The sulfur burps hit me mostly when I eat fast, not when I eat a lot. Slowing down fixed more than portion size did.
