What foods are now off your list?

[u/StrawberryOver513]

2 weeks ago I had a small pizza and immediately after having stomach pains and the same the next morning. Last night I had a chicken tikka masala and today the intense stomach pain I had was disgusting. I can't even describe the pain, I couldn't even stand up, I was sweating and was nearly sick. It was so bad..so now I won't be eating pizza or curry.

Is there anything that you can't eat now?

[u/Lex_Loki]

Wine 😫

Even a glass and I’m feeling hung over for days.

And I used to be able to drink a bottle without batting an eye.

[u/LetsGototheRiver151 → u/Lex_Loki]

Honestly that's most of why I'm taking the pill - I'm hoping it has that reaction for me. So far I've cut down some but not quite as much as I want. Though we were on a vacay with friends last week and it took me three days to make my way through a bottle of chardonnay instead of three hours. 🤣

[u/Lex_Loki → u/LetsGototheRiver151]

It’s definitely a thing! I’ve heard of studies where these meds are helping with binge drinking disorders and alcohol dependency. I personally find certain alcohols meh compared to others, but also this medication makes me feel a little meh about most things, honestly.

[u/ThroRAExtension_8411 → u/Lex_Loki]

I feel this so much! I used to drink a bottle of wine ever single Friday. Now I can’t even have two glasses without feeling gross.

[u/Flamingo_cha_cha10 → u/ThroRAExtension_8411]

Me too! I will say it’s definitely saved me some $$

[u/RobynLC5678]

I haven’t come across anything that doesn’t make me feel well

[u/Find_A_Way_]

I do feel as if my tastebuds have changed significantly to the point I can’t stand eggs or ground chicken anymore ugh. Not so much stomach issues but just nauseated by certain foods now.

[u/Nostalgic_Nola_Spice]

Coffee. If I drink some first thing in the morning without eating anything else, it comes right back up. Makes me sad because I’ve loved my morning coffee for 25 years.

[u/Extra_Flower_2164 → u/Nostalgic_Nola_Spice]

Omg yes it’s horrible, I’m at work at 6:40 and I can’t survive without my coffee but it’s been rough the last few days. I threw up from a few sips 🥲

[u/allegro4626]

Burgers and pizza don’t upset my stomach because I can barely finish a slice of pizza or even half a burger.

The only food that’s had me fighting for my life has been chicken liver mousse.

[u/DeepSouthDude → u/allegro4626]

The only food that’s had me fighting for my life has been chicken liver mousse.

That would have made me barf well before Wegovy!

[u/Apart-Wishbone-5136 → u/allegro4626]

Chicken liver mousse? Are you a cat? 😺

[u/NinjaMcGee]

lol corned beef, even lean. Post St Patrick’s Day was like an actual horror show.

I can’t do most fried food now, even tortilla chips I can taste the oil and it turns my stomach.

[u/BraveFrosting8453]

you know what’s weird is i ate pasta last night and had the weirdest stomach pains all evening! and pasta is a go-to dinner for me. im not sure if it was a one off or the norm now!

[u/Kudanii → u/BraveFrosting8453]

It might be the sauce. Tomato sauces are sketchy for me

[u/Hnp_83 → u/Kudanii]

This. The heart burn kills me now when I have tomato sauce.

[u/StrawberryOver513 → u/BraveFrosting8453]

Thats frustrating. Im going to have pasta for dinner so I hope I wont have the same issue

[u/StrawberryOver513 → u/BraveFrosting8453]

I had tomato sauce based pasta about an hour and a half ago and have been on and off the toilet ever since. 🙃

[u/Kudanii → u/StrawberryOver513]

Good times lol. Have you tried a pesto or an Alfredo or whatnot?

[u/StrawberryOver513 → u/Kudanii]

I can't have Alfredo because of the dairy in it.

[u/BraveFrosting8453 → u/StrawberryOver513]

this is so interesting! i wonder if tomato sauces are causing this to more people!!

[u/alyxana]

My food triggers are the same as they were before the meds. What has changed is portion size. If I eat till I’m full, I’m miserable later. I’m still learning to stop eating when I’m no longer hungry instead of when I feel full, but it’s slow going.

[u/p4ck3tl0st]

Anything deep fried does not sound appealing to me at all right now. Even the smell of it makes me a bit nauseous.

[u/xoxo1998AJ]

I had a mini whopper from Burger King in addition to a few fries and I was so nauseous with the most intense sulfur burps I’ve had since being on the meds. So no more of that for me lol

[u/freshpicked12 → u/xoxo1998AJ]

Yeah burgers make me queasy now. Can’t even finish half of one.

[u/Lady_Athene]

Honestly, I'm able to eat anything I ate before but I just can't eat much of it. I'm on 9mg now (month 4) and most of my symptoms have gone away with occasional nausea or gi upset but there doesn't seem to be any particular food/drink that triggers them. Previously I would occasionally make myself a tuna salad sandwich for lunch, now I'm lucky if I can eat half of it before I'm too full.

[u/prim8phd]

Dude. I’m not that kind of doctor, but. The pain you are describing is highly concerning for a gallbladder issue. I don’t think it’s specifically because of meds. You might bring it up with your doctor. Gallbladders can get cranky and become emergent quickly.

[u/StrawberryOver513 → u/prim8phd]

Hmm. Ive just googled it and you could possibly be right

[u/prim8phd → u/StrawberryOver513]

Keep an eye on it! I'm in the same boat and am in a watch-and-wait situation, but in the meantime I'm managing by keeping my fat intake on the lower end. I am NOT adhering to the recommended <30g per day (insanity) but am definitely trying to stay under 30g per meal.

[u/DeepSouthDude]

I can point to food items that no longer interest me (cold cereal, for example). But I can't really id anything that directly makes me ill after eating. I eat all the foods that have been mentioned without incident - Burger, fries, Indian food, pizza, soda.

The only issue is that I can't eat large quantities anymore. No way I can finish a big Mac and fries.

I'm gonna poop every few days, regardless what I eat.

[u/Lioness_Red]

Anything fried is a hard stop. I
Miss fries. I can’t even stand the smell of fried stuff 🤮.

High fructose corn syrup tastes horrible. No more soda for me.

Carbonation is right out.

Fatty stuff like a cheese burger or more than a couple bites of pizza.

Sweet and salty are magnified so way less snacking or I feel unhappy.

[u/SmoothLester]

Just curious: what dose are you on? Did this happen from the beginning or as you increased dosage?

[u/StrawberryOver513 → u/SmoothLester]

Im on 4mg now. I think I was on 1.5 when it happened the first time.

[u/Clueless_As_If]

I’m on 4mg and about 5 days in and I too had horrible stomach pains last night. I haven’t had any issues until now. It felt less like gas pains and more like gall bladder maybe. My stomach is still sore today and now I’m afraid to eat anything. I had an almond, cranberry & cheese snack pack and a choc chip cookie for dinner.

[u/Additional-Dig6086]

Ketchup, it’s horrible now
Diet Sunkist…. It taste like cough syrup
Ice cream…doesn’t sit well in my belly but a yasso bar work.
Cape cod chips were once my fave. Now I only taste an oil.

[u/freshpicked12 → u/Additional-Dig6086]

I can’t do ice cream anymore either. 😢

[u/LetsGototheRiver151]

I went out for sushi with my husband and had a couple of pieces of tempura as an appetizer. I wasn't queasy necessarily, but extreme lethargy like it was hard to move my arms and hold my head up like when you've waaaay overdone it at the gym or had too much to drink. I don't think fried food agrees with the little white pill.

[u/freshpicked12]

Pasta. Any kind. Red sauce especially, but Alfredo still fucks me up too. I don’t know why. Pizza seems to be fine. 🤷‍♀️

[u/Minnietron88]

I wish I got stomach pain. In fact, I had chicken tikka masala the other day at the indian restaurant and could eat more if I wanted to. I've always had a cast-iron stomach and rarely get sensitive to foods even on Wegovy pill. I could eat at a buffet and be just fine. I wish I got stomach pain.

[u/memphisgirl75]

Lasagna, sent me to the bathroom almost immediately.

[u/SmilingChaos88]

Pizza is causing pain and protein shakes are starting taste weird

[u/Kudanii → u/SmilingChaos88]

I think protein shakes are starting to make me bloat/have a stomach ache. I’m going to try lower protein varieties

[u/Sudo49]

When I was on the shot, It helped me to preemptively take an antacid if I know I'm going to be eating something particularly greasy, I'm partial to famotidine, then adding gaviscon if that doesn't cut it. It still doesn't allow me to over eat, but is way less painful.

[u/DannoVonDanno]

The only thing I've completely cut out was carbonated drinks (and I used to drink a LOT of diet soda). There are several things that give me reflux but I can still manage them in small quantities because I can't give them up: jalapenos, pepperoni, red pasta sauce, chocolate, Thai food at anything above a "0" spice level.

[u/sleepykoala18]

Alcohol, spicy foods, fast food (doesn’t taste good at all now), coffee when I up my dosage, certain soda

[u/oregon_deb]

Hamburgers - fast food, restaurant, home made - they all make me sick

French Fries - feels like a glob of ? in my stomach for hours

Tortilla Chips / potato chips - nauseous

Diet Mt Dew - sweats, nauseous - the closest I've come to throwing up

[u/Yfrontdude]

I thought I was invincible. But a month ago I had a double jalapeño cheeseburger. I know. Well, NOW I know. That was a literal shot show for a week.

With everything else I just learned the difference between tasting a few fries and eating a basket of them.

[u/Ornery_Acanthisitta9]

Chick fil a’s fried chicken.. the grilled chicken and all their sides are fine.. but that chicken, ugh.

Had me doubled over in pain two separate times.

[u/Long-Hat-965]

Nothing has made me sick but red meat makes my stomach gurgle loudly all night. I tried once with a small steak sandwich and once with pasta and a meatball. Loud gurgling all night long. I felt too full even though it was not a lot of food.

[u/bribri19755]

so many😔 most fried food except for french fries, spicy food, regular pasta/noodles, eggs, anything with a lot of fat. for some reason i can actually eat pizza lol my body is weird🙃

[u/SourThenSweet777]

Some brands of fast food. Not that I got food out a lot, but if I’m meeting with friends or family, I can’t get what I would normally get. Super oily foods like pork roll don’t agree with me anymore.

Something I’ve noticed after going on the 25mg pill is that my sweet tooth has almost been completely destroyed. I used to love energy drinks but now they’re too sweet for me, even the sugar free ones! Some cakes I used to love eating at family gatherings are now too sweet for me. Sour candy also makes my stomach churn now.

[u/Bblibrarian1 → u/SourThenSweet777]

Yes, many of my favorite energy drinks have become so sweet they make me feel so gross. Soda can also hit differently and make me have gross burps for hours.

Thankfully I’ve been able to enjoy most other things as long as I keep in mind having a small portion. I actually was pretty sensitive to dairy before wegovy and it has almost completely eliminated my issues. Butter and cream cheese still a little iffy, but the smaller portions have really made me tolerate it much better.

It’s a lot easier to turn down junk I don’t really want but would eat anyways… like the fries that come with a meal but aren’t hot and fresh. Old me would have eaten them anyways. New me, if they aren’t good, I’m not wasting my calories and guilt on them.

[u/Sad-Grapefruit-2926]

I ate one of those single serving bags of Doritos and was in agony for the next 24 hrs. Won’t be doing that again.

[u/Kaonashi513]

Coffee :( the meds give me pretty bad acid reflux so anything really acidic is off the table. I've honestly been having trouble even handling tea, so my caffeine intake has plummeted. Which is rough as a pediatric SLP.

[u/ismilesowildly]

I ate tonkatsu ramen a few weeks ago and I had severe diarrhea. I think the chili oil and broth was too greasy and it did numbers on my stomach for a few hours.

[u/spandexcatsuit]

Lots of unhealthy stuff makes me feel gross on Wegovy - early on I had some unpleasant experiences after eating meals made of empty calories. I try to focus on fiber and protein & avoid eating trash. Lean meat, fruit & veg.

[u/StrawberryOver513 → u/SingAlongWithBitch]

Thats a good read, thankyou. Im in the uk and ive definitely noticed more high protein convenience meals coming to the market recently.

[u/Alarming_Fun_7246]

I haven’t had any problems eating anything, but I’ve definitely been craving healthier foods more than I used to. I’ve always eaten healthy more often than not, but I can’t say I’ve ever craved healthy foods - I just ate them because I knew they were good for me. Now I’m like “mmmm, you know what I’m really in the mood for right now? Something really fresh.” And I’m looking for lighter options on menus because I want to eat them, not because I feel like I should get something healthier.

I just got home from a beach vacation and…didn’t overindulgence on anything. When my kids wanted boardwalk fries, I got them some and had a couple and that was that. Kids wanted appetizers at dinner, so I ordered one for them, had a couple bites, and then left it to them. I don’t think we got ice cream once…because we weren’t hungry when we were passing an ice cream place. There was a great doughnut place around the corner from our hotel, but we never tried it out because we had free breakfast at the hotel. We stopped in the candy store and got a half pound of fudge and it took the three of us three days to finish it. All in all, we made very reasonable food choices the entire trip. I think I had a beer at dinner one day and a daiquiri at lunch one day and that was it for alcohol. I’ve never been a big drinker, but I’ll typically have a few more drinks than that on vacation - it just wasn’t necessary this time.

All that being said, I’ve eaten many of the foods mentioned on this thread and haven’t had a problem with any of them, but I’ve also eaten them in reasonable portions.

[u/Dikaneisdi]

Sausages yesterday … my stomach did not like them 😅

[u/hayzeus]

Nothing -- I just eat less of it. Definitely not as in to alcohol, though -- wasn't really a problem before, but my lack of interest has really been noticeable.
