The boring fix that helped my constipation around week 8

I almost did not post this, but it would have helped me earlier. I kept blaming the medication, then realized my routine around it was chaotic. I am week 8 and my main issue was constipation, especially around work lunch. 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. The win was not huge, just a normal afternoon without needing to lie down. If you are in the same window, maybe try changing one boring variable before changing everything.

That part is so real. What helped me was keeping the food boring for a couple days. I am week 2 on Zepbound 2.5mg, so my timing may be different. Sending solidarity from another tiny-meal person.
This is the kind of detail I wish I had earlier. Protein early in the day made the afternoon less shaky for me. My main issue has been maintenance. That is a good question for a check-in too.
