Nutrition and supplement support
Plan for earlier fullness
Start with manageable meals containing a protein source and other nutritious foods. If large meals are uncomfortable, smaller regular portions can be easier to finish. Protein foods, fruit, vegetables and carbohydrate sources still matter even when appetite is quiet.
Avoid turning low appetite into malnutrition
Track energy, strength and food variety alongside weight. An inability to eat much is not a reason to rely entirely on vitamin tablets. A dietitian can help adapt texture, portion size and meal timing when intake remains low.
Fibre and fluids
Constipation may respond to adequate fluids and a gradual increase in tolerated fibre, but sudden large fibre doses can worsen bloating. Persistent symptoms need review. Repeated vomiting requires assessment; an electrolyte drink alone does not solve ongoing fluid loss.
Supplements
Protein supplements can fill a practical dietary gap. Vitamin D, B12, calcium or iron should be considered according to food intake and deficiency risk, not as mandatory cagrilintide companions. Iron can worsen constipation; magnesium can cause diarrhoea. There is no demonstrated supplement that makes an unverified preparation safer or guarantees better appetite control.
