Question What’s your wegovy “safe” food?
When your tummy isn’t 100% and you just don’t feel like eating anything else, what do you eat?
For me, it’s a super simple peanut butter & jelly sandwich. 🤷🏼♂️

Usually something dry/carby - half a bagel with a little butter, multigrain cheerios, half a grilled cheese sandwich.

u/Due-Chef-1525 Jul 08 '24
I go for plain toast with a bit of butter. It's easy on the stomach and comforting.

A protein drink. Normally that would not be my go-to for tummy troubles, but with Wegovy it really seems to help

Fresh Cherries. 🍒 right now they are in season and I’m loving it.
Olives. Any day any time. I get most of my calories from olives.

Day after shot it’s the fake chicken lipton cup o soup with saltines. Other days an english muffin with cream cheese and everything bagel seasoning on top. Gives me a little fat, carbs, and sodium and always makes me feel better.

I love getting the buttered noodles from Noodles & Co. I eat about 1/3 of it at the most and save the rest for later; it amazes me that I used to eat the whole thing in one sitting.

A very small amount of cottage cheese. The dietician I saw recommended it because it has protein, and it has worked out well.

u/Fabulous-Aardvark-25 Jul 09 '24
Depending on time of day, meal time etc - I find that just a small healthy serving 1/2C or so of a good simple and natural vanilla ice cream really hits the spot. And makes me feel better.
Maybe odd, sure. But it works for me.
I go with TurkeyHill Simply Naturals Homemade Vanilla. But that’s a regional brand.

Avocado toast, or yogurt. Often my nausea seems to be a hunger sign, so I know if I eat something…anything it will get better.

u/mjskywalker_ Jul 09 '24
Bananas and buttered toast is pretty safe for me. I’ve really struggled to find safe foods. I was never a huge meat eater (but not totally vegetarian) but meat has gotten even less appetizing now that I’m on Wegovy. Not sure if that will go away the longer I’m on it or not bc right now it’s been hard to hit my protein goal bc everything with protein (meat & eggs) makes me feel kinda sick. I do drink protein smoothies but I wish I could eat some grilled chicken or eggs without feeling sick to my stomach.

Try frozen blueberries. I’ll eat a whole bag of frozen blueberries from Costco. The wild ones are sweeter, but they’re all good. 🤤
Edit to add: I don’t eat the whole bag at once, I just don’t end up using them for anything else.
