I went off for wegovy for a surgery and now my symptoms are so intense

So my injection day was a Monday. I had to skip a Monday for a Thursday cataract surgery. They told me I could restart the same day. I waited until that evening to make sure the anesthesia effects wore off and I took an injection.

It’s been rough! Who knew missing basically 3 days would wreck me! I’m soooo nauseous, which is not a symptom I was feeling before. Also so many sulfur burps!! I have not had intense side effects for months!

Maybe it’s due to the anesthesia and having to not drink fluids for half a day? I’m trying so hard not to puke, as the pressure could hurt my eye, which is really fragile right now. It’s currently Sunday night, so just a few days out.

I barely have eaten since the surgery, which doesn’t feel right. I’m on 1.7mg and this was my second shot.

I’ve tried gas x and pepto, bc that’s what I have in the house, and ginger tea. It’s been debilitating! Anyone have this happen?
