Forteo weight gain…anyone experience this?

I started Forteo about seven weeks ago and put on ten pounds and craving sugar and salt . I thought about changing to Tymlos but I hear it does the same thing . I tried Prolia a few years ago and lost some of the inside of my jaw bone . I was hesitant. about taking injections again but didn’t know what to do because of having a full scoliosis surgery and needing to build my bone density up . I feel stuck in my situation.

I started on Tymlos in mid June and have gained almost 15#. I too craved sugar and was eating unhealthy processed foods that I normally wouldn’t consume. Most of the weight is in my belly. I tried to explain this to my doctors without much success. I’m noticing that the cravings are subsiding so I can concentrate on losing weight, which, at the age of 72 is no longer easy. I also have limited mobility due to my most recent fractures. I feel stuck as well but beginning to feel a little more hopeful. We just have to hang in there 😊
