Semaglutide: my repeatable constipation routine for shot day

I am still figuring it out, but this is the first thing that actually lasted more than three days. I kept blaming the medication, then realized my routine around it was chaotic. I am week 12 and my main issue was constipation, especially around breakfast. What finally helped was adding a short walk after dinner. 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.

I had a version of this. I would message your prescriber if it feels sharp, severe, or keeps getting worse. That is a good question for a check-in too.

Ozempic1mgWeek 54

Following because I am in the same spot. Walking after dinner was annoying but weirdly effective. I am week 54 on Ozempic 1mg, so my timing may be different. That sounds frustrating but fixable.
