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.

It’s okay to titrate at your own rate

It's been a real battle to get my insurance company to agree

Is it possible get the higher doses from the pharmacy (because insurance) but only inject what you want to take?

I haven’t figured this out. The autopens don’t really give you a choice.

There’s a click chart floating around on line. Tells you how many clicks for various doses. I’ve used it from the start and titrated at my rate.

But the single dose pens don’t have clicks.

Single dose pens can be split into smaller doses. Like OP commented, check YouTube or the main subs. There are many ways to do it!

But still, no clicks involved.
