Zepbound2.5mgWeek 7

How are you handling constipation on tirzepatide when appetite is low?

I am not panicking, just trying to compare notes before I message my prescriber. I am week 7 on Zepbound 2.5mg, currently around 165 lb, and the thing bugging me is constipation. I am trying not to spiral because the rest of the medication has been manageable. 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. How long did it take before it felt less intense?

I would keep an eye on it. I started writing down shot day plus day two because I kept forgetting the pattern. That is a good question for a check-in too.

That part is so real. Small portions helped me more than changing the food completely. I am saving this thread.
