How I handled constipation on the weekend without changing everything

I almost did not post this, but it would have helped me earlier. The annoying part was that it looked fine on paper, but my body was clearly not having it. I am week 8 and my main issue was constipation, especially around breakfast. What finally helped was tracking water before lunch. I also kept my three things simple: constipation, protein, dose increase. No big reset, just less improvising. After about a week of doing it the same way, the pattern was much calmer. If you are in the same window, maybe try changing one boring variable before changing everything.

This is the kind of detail I wish I had earlier. My clinic told me to call if I could not keep fluids down, so I keep that line in my head. That is a good question for a check-in too.
I had a version of this. I still use a boring grocery list when I increase dose. Hope it settles down soon.
