What to log (minimum viable nausea tracking)
Most people don’t need more detail — they need consistent detail. Keep it boring for 2–3 weeks so patterns show up.
Quick rule: If the log feels annoying, cut it down to “severity + one sentence of context.” Consistency beats completeness.
Core fields
- Time window (morning/afternoon/evening, or exact time)
- Nausea severity (0–10, or mild/moderate/severe)
- Timing relative to injection (same day vs 24–48h later)
- Food + hydration context (empty stomach, big meal, low fluids, etc.)
- Other symptoms (constipation, reflux, headache, fatigue)
- What helped (rest, smaller meals, slow sipping, etc.)
Nausea log template (copy/paste)
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Date | 2026-05-26 |
| Time window | Evening |
| Nausea severity | 6/10 |
| Injection context | Injected 2 days ago (dose unchanged) |
| Food/hydration | Late lunch, low fluids |
| Other symptoms | Mild constipation |
| What helped | Small snack + rest |
| Notes | Travel day, more stress than usual |
Patterns worth watching
- Day-of-week effects (if injection day is consistent)
- Meal size / fat load (big meal vs smaller, slower meals)
- Sleep + stress (often confounders for “stomach” symptoms)
- Constipation overlap (can make nausea feel worse)
Safety note: If nausea is severe, persistent, or you can’t keep fluids down, seek urgent care.
Log it in an app (instead of losing the note)
Jabbit keeps your doses, symptoms, reminders, and notes together — synced via iCloud (no account required).
For a broader context view, pair this with the retatrutide timeline so you can see symptom waves relative to dose changes and life events.
