Hydration tracking on GLP-1 — what worked for you?

Answering the narrow version, because the broad one does not have a single answer. The variables that decide how a cross-border order goes are declaration wording, the destination country's import rules for prescription medicines, and whether the shipment looks commercial. Personal-import allowances exist in some jurisdictions and not in others, and where they exist they are usually conditional on a prescription and a quantity limit. The failure mode is normally a seizure notice rather than anything worse, and a reshipment policy is the thing worth confirming before ordering rather than after.

Happy to go further on any of that.

Agreed, and cold chain is the underrated risk on long routes. A shipment held at a border for a week has had a temperature excursion whether or not it arrives.

I spent a month blaming the drug for headaches and light-headedness that turned out to be salt and water, which is embarrassing and apparently common.

This is my experience too, for whatever a second data point is worth. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.

Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice.

Helpful anti-nausea foods for hydration users:

• Ginger (tea, chews, supplements — all work)
• Peppermint (tea or oil capsules)
• Plain crackers or rice cakes
• Bananas (easy to digest, replenish potassium)
• Clear broth (hydration + sodium)
• Small amounts of protein (chicken breast, plain Greek yogurt)

Avoid: greasy foods, spicy foods, large meals, lying down after eating. Keep meals small and frequent — I do 5-6 mini meals/day.
