How long until you actually FEEL your breakfast? Thinking I need to completely change the order I eat things.

Day 3 on my first ever dose and the mornings are rough.

I eat breakfast and it’s like… nothing. No energy, no fuel, just waiting. I know the delayed gastric emptying is the mechanism but knowing it doesn’t make it less miserable at 8am.

I’m starting to think I need to completely rethink the order I eat things - fruit or juice first to break the fast quickly, then complex carbs, then protein and fat last since that’s the slowest to process. Basically the opposite of what I used to do.

For those of you further along: how long does it actually take before you feel like the energy from breakfast lands? And did you change what/when/in what order you eat in the morning to deal with this?

Also does it get better after the first week or is this just the new normal?
