Cucumber Rice Vinegar Salad with Soft-Boiled Egg Best Foods to Eat on GLP-1
The afternoon of your pre-injection day on Wegovy, a light cucumber and egg snack is one of the best choices to support the next day's shot. Cucumber is 96% water — eating it the day before your injection pre-hydrates the body and significantly reduces the dizziness and headache that often follow GLP-1 injections. Dehydration is one of the most overlooked injection day side effect triggers, and this water-rich pre-injection snack addresses it directly. Avoid egg salad with mayonnaise, cucumber with heavy cream dressings, and creamy vegetable dips on pre-injection day — even small amounts of fat the day before your shot can worsen nausea.
