First Injection
I took my first injection Friday night. Saturday I didn’t feel much of anything besides some mild nausea and an inability to eat very much. Yay! But, the heartburn was horrible, and I was eating very bland things. This morning I woke up with a huge headache. I took a nice drink of water and then I belched twice. The first belch tasted like my afternoon eggs from the day before and the second time tasted like my soup from dinner. The headache has lasted all day. I went back to bed after drinking more water, but did not eat anything. I’ve finally had my first meal of the day and it is late afternoon. I’m not sure if the headache is a result of the meds or possibly caffeine withdrawal. Or maybe both. I usually drink Diet Coke throughout the day and I haven’t wanted it. And that’s probably a good thing given the heartburn. I guess I am looking for reassurance that these side effects decrease overtime? I really hope I don’t feel this way after every shot. I really want to drop the weight. But I also have to be able to function in my everyday life. And that means working 40 hours a week and being able to be present for others in my household. Any tips or encouragement would be greatly appreciated. I also felt like I had to drink so much water yesterday that there was no room to eat. I had to struggle to get the calories. And I did not hit my protein goal for the day. Not even close.
