Can we compare notes on tirzepatide constipation before I overthink this?

This is one of those questions that feels too specific for a quick search. I am week 6 on Zepbound 5mg, currently around 273 lb, and the thing bugging me is constipation. It comes and goes, which makes it harder to know what actually caused it. My main tags right now would be constipation, protein, dose increase. I am trying to keep protein and water steady, but I do not know if I should change timing or just give this week some space. Did anyone else notice it more on day two than shot day?

I would keep an eye on it. Mine got easier after two weeks at the same dose. I am week 7 on Zepbound 5mg, so my timing may be different. A week-by-week log helped me see it more clearly.
That part is so real. I had better luck when I stopped trying to eat one normal-sized meal. I am week 8 on Ozempic 0.5mg, so my timing may be different. A week-by-week log helped me see it more clearly.
