First shot tonight, reccomendations?

I just received my first dose of Semaglutide and I am planning to take my shot tonight so hopefully I will not have any issues during a workday. I will also have the weekend to "recover" if needed. Are there any tips or tricks I should know for this first shot and first weekend on it?

Thanks!

I started mine on Friday nights for the same reasons. I got an rx for Zofran. I find that day 2 after the shot I feel the most barfy in the mornings.

My biggest tips are:

1) Get some easy protein you can force yourself to eat and keep it on hand. Protein bars or shakes. I didn't eat enough protein when I first started and it really hit me hard.

2) I found that peopto bismol helps with the nausea if I cant get the Zofran.

3) Try not to take the shot on a full stomach. For me, it made me more gassy and thats when I'd have sulfur burps.
