The sulfur burps hit me hardest on the higher doses and I've been experimenting to figure out what sets them off. I'm down 37 lbs so far so I'm not about to quit over this, but eggs and anything rich seems to make it worse the next day. Has anyone found a reliable fix, whether it's diet tweaks, timing, or something OTC that actually works?
Sulfur burps on compounded tirz, anyone crack the code?
Sounds like we're on the same page with rich food being the culprit - I noticed the same thing around the 35 lb mark, where a heavy dinner basically wrote my next morning off. Swapping my big meal to midday and keeping dinner boring (plain protein, some rice) made a huge difference for me. Simethicone is my backup when I slip up, though at this point avoiding the trigger is more reliable than treating it.
Fading appetite a couple days before your next shot was pretty standard for me too, especially early on. I figured it was just the level dipping, and week by week the window between suppression and hunger blurred anyway. Down 80-some lbs now and I still get that dip, it just matters less because my baseline hunger is way quieter than it used to be.
Eggs were a trigger for me too, cut them out and the burps mostly stopped. I also noticed smaller dinners helped since greasy evening meals seemed to guarantee a rough morning. Simethecone tablets got me through the worst nights before I figured out the food side.
Mine were worst after fatty dinners too, so now I eat my bigger meal at lunch and keep evenings light, and the morning burps mostly vanished. Chewable simethicone is in my bag for the occasional rough night and it takes the edge off. Still get them after eggs, so I just don't bother with eggs anymore.
Late thread but the big-meal-at-lunch trick worked for me too, around the 60 lb mark I stopped fighting it and just made dinner the smallest meal of the day. Eggs are gone from my rotation as well, not worth the next-morning regret. Simethicone lives in my desk drawer for when I get careless.
I'm at 5mg compounded and down 29 lbs, and my pattern matches yours exactly - eggs and anything greasy at dinner guarantee a rough morning. I shifted my heavy meal to lunch and keep dinner to plain chicken or fish, which cut the burps way down. Simethicone chewables are my safety net when I get tempted by something rich.
Oral meds guy here (Rybelsus) so take it with a grain of salt, but I had the same sulfur burp pattern when I was losing faster around the 30 lb mark. Heavy dinner was my trigger too - moved my main meal to lunch and keep evenings light, and omeprazole before a rich meal became my emergency card. Sounds like the lunch-shift crowd here has cracked it even if it's boring.
Down 48 lbs on Victoza and the sulfur burps still ambush me if I eat eggs or anything heavy late, so I hear you. Shifting my big meal to midday and keeping dinner light is the only thing that's consistently helped - I stopped even trying OTC stuff since the timing fix worked better than anything in my cabinet.
Fellow egg casualty here, down 18 lbs and the pattern is identical - rich or eggy dinner = rough next morning. I flipped to making dinner the lightest meal and that alone did more than anything OTC I tried. Simethicone is my backup when I slip.
Same deal on Trulicity here - eggs at night are basically a guaranteed rough morning for me. Moving my big meal to midday fixed about 90 percent of it, and when I slip and eat rich late, a light next-day breakfast gets me back on track faster than anything I swallowed for it. Congrats on the 37, that's right where I'm at too.
Constipation was my big one, magnesium at night helped a ton. Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size.
Eggs were my trigger too, so I just cut them out on injection weeks and the burps mostly went away. Simethicone took the edge off when they did show up, for what it's worth in my case. Also noticed fatty late dinners did the same thing, so I front-load my day now.
Late fatty dinners were my kryptonite too, so shifting my biggest meal before mid-afternoon made the sulfur burps almost disappear. When I do slip up, simethicone plus a very plain breakfast the next morning shortens the misery for me. Nearly the same loss on my end, so I'm right in that grind with you.
Similar pattern here, rich dinners the night before are what does it to me. I started keeping dinner light and protein-lean after shot day and the burps went from brutal to rare. Simethicone is what I keep on hand for when I slip.
For me it was definitely the night-before meal, especially anything greasy. I'm only about 24 lbs in but the pattern was clear: skip heavy dinners, wake up burp-free. When I do slip, chewable simethicone and a boring toast morning get me through.
Same experience on my end, 21 lbs in and heavy dinners are the guaranteed trigger for me too. Eggs are the worst offender for me personally, so I swapped them for yogurt on shot weeks and mornings got way quieter. Simethicone lives in my bag now for the occasional slip.
Down about 20 lbs and the pattern's identical on my end: a heavy or greasy dinner the night before guarantees a rough morning. My fix has been front-loading my day, biggest meal at lunch, then something like broth or a small lean protein at night. Ginger chews plus simethicone are my rescue kit when I get careless.
58 lbs in and I landed on the same pattern you did - eggs the night before are basically a guaranteed rough morning for me, so they're off the menu on shot weeks entirely. Light early dinners made the biggest difference, and when I slip anyway, simethicone plus a bland next morning usually shuts it down within a day.
84 lbs in here and I never cracked it fully, just learned to dodge it - rich dinners and eggs before shot night are the big ones for me too, so I keep evenings light and boring. Ginger tea helps take the edge off when they show up anyway, though simethicone is the one that actually ends them. Sounds like you're already halfway to figuring out your own triggers.
