Zepbound constipation: what I changed after resistance bands

This is from a family room floor with resistance bands, which is exactly why I am posting it. It is a normal-life thing, not a perfect routine. The old routine did not fit this dose window, and I did not notice until the day got messy. I am week 8 on Zepbound 5mg, and constipation has been the thing that tells on me first. The fix was small: planning around day two instead of pretending it would be normal. It did not make the week perfect, but it made it easier to repeat the next day. Leaving this here in case someone else is trying to make constipation work in the middle of a regular day instead of a clean reset.

I had a version of this. I had better luck when I stopped trying to eat one normal-sized meal. I am week 27 on Ozempic 1mg, so my timing may be different. I would not ignore it if it keeps escalating.
Same here. I still use a boring grocery list when I increase dose. I am week 3 on Zepbound 2.5mg, so my timing may be different. Hope it settles down soon.
