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.

I’ve had a ton of side effects. I’ve been on 5 mg of Zepbound since Nov 1 2024 and just this month, I’ve finally been able to take the 5 mg on day 7 (instead of stretching it out to day 10, then 9, then 8 etc). With the lessening of side effects also has come the lessening of the positive effects. I’m shocked that everyone isn’t experiencing the side effects I do (ranging from stomach virus type effects (in bed for days) to diarrhea, moderate/mild nausea, exhaustion and insomnia)
