How do you handle eating at restaurants/events?
I started Mounjaro 7 weeks ago. I was on 2.5 for a month and now I’m on 5, being on my 3rd dose currently.
I wasn’t having any issues (like literally any) up until about a week or so ago… and I was shocked because I had been on ozempic a year ago and I was constantly sick.
I’ve been trying to be careful about what I eat (bc I think that contributed to my sickness on ozempic). I avoid greasy and fried food as much as possible. I’ve gone as far as avoiding things like salsa and red sauce because that used to give me terrible acid reflux when I was on the ozempic.
Yesterday I went to a friends shower where they had a prefix menu. It was an Italian place- so everything either had a red sauce, was fried or in some heavy sauce. I picked what I thought potentially would bother me the least (pasta primavera) and I felt awful the rest of the day. Nausea, sulphur burps, etc. In situations where you have limited options what have you done? What has been successful for you to not feel awful afterwards?
I’m not sure if I’m just more sensitive because I’m still adjusting to the higher dose… I just don’t want to be stressed every time I go out with friends or have some sort of work function/family gathering.
Thank you for your help!
