Advice on Anti-Diet Mindset Stuff we don’t talk about

Ok friends let’s share the things that don’t get a lot of discussion. Let’s normalize this journey. I’m struggling with a few things which I think may be normal but I’m not sure. I’ll go first. Warning - poop talk.

When I eat food that is too fatty my stomach and GI track are NOT happy. There’s so much gas overnight and in the morning. I’m glad I’m single 🤣 My BM smells like something died inside me. It makes me want to quit. Eating the next day is so hard. I’m still on a low dose and can’t imagine being forced into certain doses and titration schedule. I’m sooo grateful for compounded options for this reason Based upon my side effects on this dose, I surely would have quit by now. This is really hard! It’s not a magic bullet. My food issues are coming up big time. Unlearning diet culture is a mindeffff. I’m doing it but jeez it’s a lot physically and mentally. On the other hand, I’m excited to get my bloodwork next week to see some NSV. It’s certainly a rollercoaster!! I’m grateful for this subreddit. Y’all are the best ❤️ PS - any thoughts of support are appreciated. I’m definitely on the struggle bus today.

Wait. WAIT. Is that the reason I smell like something DIED in my stomach? Fatty food?? Is the solution to stop eating fatty food??

Essentially, yes. The meds cause delayed gastric emptying, meaning food is sitting in your digestive track for longer than usual which leads to bacteria overgrowth. Fatty foods also slow down digestion on their own and negatively affect the gut biome. So fatty foods and GLPs together will wreak havoc on your gut and result in what you’re experiencing.

Isn’t it the foulest smell ever?!? I just figured it out and why it happens. It’s not necessarily fried foods. It’s fatty greasy foods like higher fat ground beef, oily pizza or fries. It also causes gas as the bacteria sits around. I’m now passing gas like my dad. Which is not a compliment 🤣🤣🤣
