Nobody talks about the constipation enough. Let's talk about it.

Week two hit me like a wall. I won't go into graphic detail but it was uncomfortable and I didn't feel like anyone warned me about this one. The nausea gets all the attention.

What actually worked for me: way more water than I thought I needed, magnesium at night, and not skipping fiber even when I wasn't eating much.

What's your strategy? Has anyone found something that works consistently?

I was embarrassed to tell people I was on a GLP-1. Then this happened.

I told exactly two people when I started. My doctor and my best friend. I didn't want the "oh so you're taking the easy way out" comments. I didn't have the energy to defend a decision I'd thought about for months.

Six weeks in, someone asked how I was losing weight. I almost lied. Instead I just said "medication and a lot of consistency." They nodded. That was it.

Has anyone else dealt with the embarrassment piece? How did you handle it....or did you not tell anyone at all?
