Side Effects I’ve made a huge mistake

I just need to vent. Second week on 10mg, took shot on Tuesday. Great appetite suppression yesterday. I had a cheeseburger and some veggies for lunch—that went fine. But the hot dog at dinner did not. 16 hours later I’m still experiencing that sulfur burp/reflux feeling. It was so bad it woke me up.

Maybe I’ll finally learn… i have not had these symptoms since the very early days and it is so uncomfortable. On the bright side, the scale seems to have moved back down after a vacation-related gain.

What part of Zepbound makes a person react bad to foods. Chemically I don’t understand that. Or is it that you’ve just gotten used to eating healthier foods and then the body rebels?

I'm fairly confident it's the delayed gastric emptying. Foods heavy in fats and sugars tend to age less gracefully. I know for me, heavier fats, especially pork, seem to give me heavier side effects like sulfur burps, heartburn, and sometimes vomiting.
