1.7 is a nightmare for me :(

Hi all! I recently started 1.7mg of wegovy after being on 1mg for several months. My first week on the 1.7mg was fine, my normal side effects of slight nausea, aversion to some foods, etc etc. Fast forward to my 3rd shot, I can barely eat any food without having sulfur burps 😭 and sometimes, if I eat something that REALLY doesn’t agree with me, I’ll have the worst GI issues for the next 24-48 hours. It’s almost like my body can’t tolerate foods i once was able to eat? (And I completely changed my diet and lost 100lb in 5 months, so it’s crazy that it’s affecting me this much). I don’t want to give up because I want to allow my body time to adjust because it is a big jump, and I am seeing significant weight loss, but does anyone have any tips or tricks to combat these side effects? This is the first time I’m actually dealing with them on a consistent basis. I’ve been living off pepto, gas x, and Gatorade! Any words of encouragement or advice is needed 😭😭
