Morning Gym + Taking Pill Timeline

Hello! Does anyone else gym super early in the morning? I typically wake up at 4:30, start my workout at 5:15. This is a heavy weight lifting functional fitness (cross-fit-ish) style class that I go to. I typically drink 30-40oz of water during class, followed by a protein shake around 6:30, an actual meal around 8am after showering and getting the kids to school. For those of you that gym in the morning, does anyone do anything similar and you find that the pill does okay in your stomach if you take it right before going? I'm going to start this Saturday on the pill, which would be an off-gym day for me, but I am still nervous about barfing all over the floor LOL. The anxiety is real.

I wish I could do the 2 hours after pill eating as I see you guys recommending, but I don't think it would be possible with my gym/work/school/kids schedule right now. We are just too chaotic over here.

I struggled with post-hysterectomy weight gain, despite what I eat/lift, maybe theres others in the same boat taking these meds too?
