She revealed that she was “on my second day of tirzepatide” and felt “so hungry.”
The country icon’s wife added: ‘Okay? Don’t know. However, I woke up a pound and a half lighter, but man, I can eat.
“So, I’m hungry right now. I’m ready to eat again. I ate a lot more calories today, but I’m eating a lot of healthy things like protein and vegetables.
“Why am I so hungry for this s**t?”
Bunnie admitted she used the medication, which is used for weight loss and appetite suppression via injections, in small amounts as she tries to avoid taking prescriptions if possible.
She admitted that she was “afraid” to start taking the drug.
“I was so scared to take it, dude. “I was so scared of taking it that I had nightmares the day before… I have nothing in my body,” the 44-year-old added.
‘I’m 100 percent, just completely natural. There is literally nothing in my system. So for me it’s a huge decision to take tirzepatide. So I had a nightmare about it the night before.”

In addition to still being “very hungry,” Bunnie admitted to experiencing a host of side effects.

‘I’m really hungry. I woke up one and a half kilos lighter. So we’ll see how it goes.’
