Day 3 of zepbound. Face pain is gone. Belching and diarrhea is wild! Taste like old pizza and popcorn lol. The burping not the other lol.

[@giddythings]

@@lenab9686 I'm so relieved that the face pain is gone for you, lovely! I'll tell you what: your description of the symptoms is eerily close to how they have felt. and, yes, tasted to me. In fact, I think you have articulated in a way I had not before, and you are completely on point. Lots of love!🤣😂🤣🤩😻

@giddythings does the diarrhea every go away?

[@giddythings]

@lenab9686 It did (sort of) for me, beloved Lena. 🩷 The "sort of" is only because every once in a while, the diarrhea comes back, and I am not 💯 sure if it's just something I ate or a reoccurring side effect. It's quite seldom an issue now. How's the aromatic burping today? I may 🤞🏻have pretty much stopped having the "furps." 😂🤣 Lots of love! 🥰💜

[@lenab9686]

@giddythings burping is in full swing. Feels nice lol. But the other end is brutal. How long does it last?

[@giddythings]

@@lenab9686 I think mine slowed to a crawl within a month. Praying yours resolves so quickly! 💜 The "furps" lessened for me, but they still whisper their presence. 🤣😂🥰

[@lenab9686]

did you get face pain? it feels like my face is being smooshed.

[@giddythings]

@@lenab9686 Thank you so much for the comment, dear Lena! 💜 I haven't had face pain, per se, but I have had headaches that felt like my head was in a vise. Those seem to have subsided, but I'm not counting my chickens before they hatch. 😌 I hope you pain eases up. I would definitely talk to my doctor about it. Are you getting hunger suppression? Sending lots of love! 🥰

[@lenab9686]

@giddythings hunger issues were never really a problem for me. My daughter keeps me so busy. I can get to dinner time and realize I havnt eaten all day. I'm on it because of being insulin resistant and borderline diabetic. I also have cushings so we are hoping it helps with the weight gain from cushing and menopause since I had cancer and had to have a full hysterectomy I started to gain alot of weight

[@giddythings]

@@lenab9686 I am so glad that hunger is not an issue, and I hope the medication helps with the challenges you face! 🙏🏻💜 I admire you so much for being busy and resilient. I super understand your reluctance with the medication. Please keep me posted. I'm eager to see side effects subside for you. 😌😻
