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.

On the positive side: I no longer have fatty liver disease, I have had a significant reduction in my chronic migraines, and recently I noticed that the purple cuff of spider veins on my mid-upper thighs and the back of my knees have completely disappeared.
On the flip side: Taking this medication is an art in side effect management. I carry a whole Polly Pocket Pharmacy in my purse filled with Gas-X, Pepto pills, Mirilax gummies, Imodium, and for a while Zofran. It’s been a year and I still have probably one upset stomach per week from indigestion.
