My first time was Monday...

Pretty sure this has been an underlying condition that's been increasingly exacerbated by my Ozempic, because the minor side effects have been showing up after my shot for a few months now.

Spent Monday purging everying I took in, miserable and confused. Tuesday through Thursday sipping minimal quantities of Gatorade, broth, and eating a few Saltines. Friday I went research mode on "stomach motility" issues and ended up here. Sat down with my wife, came up with a list of things I should be able to eat, and she hit the store today.

Been sitting here with ice cubes and ginger ale, had a Boost and a popsicle, with applesauce and peach cups waiting in the fridge. First time feeling hydrated in a week. Despite being down 34lbs (and the strained abdomen muscles), I'm feeling better than I have all week. Already have appointments with my primary, endo, and my wife's gastro. Other than that, just trying to catch up on my energy.

Thank y'all for being such a great resource.
