Small constipation win after a rough oral semaglutide week

For anyone in the same dose window, this was the small change that stuck. I kept trying to eat my normal dinner and then wondered why the night felt awful. I am week 6 and my main issue was constipation, especially around dinner. 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. It did not fix everything, but I stopped dreading that part of the week. If you are in the same window, maybe try changing one boring variable before changing everything.

I am glad you posted this. Electrolytes did more than I expected, especially before lunch. I am week 18 on Zepbound 7.5mg, so my timing may be different. My main issue has been plateau. Sending solidarity from another tiny-meal person.
Following because I am in the same spot. Protein early in the day made the afternoon less shaky for me. I am week 3 on Zepbound 2.5mg, so my timing may be different. That sounds frustrating but fixable.
