Started last week!

Hi all, so happy this group is here. My weight has gone up and down for years, WW, OA, Atkins...etc. can never keep if off. My nutritionist suggested this after my A1C hit 6.8.. Ideally i would like to loose 130 ish lbs.

Anyway, I have been on the 0.6 dose for 5 days now. I have to force myself to eat or else I get nausea and feel faint. I am trying not to weigh myself too much, but I can tell that it is coming off. The chocolate/sugar cravings have also worn off and if I go for crap easy food... OH boy look out.

Looking forward to keeping up with everyone!
Nicole

    Hi Nicole,
    How are you now? I weigh myself every day. With Saxenda care the nurse told me that I should weigh myself as long as I find it motivational. With that, I weigh myself twice a day. Once in the morning and once at night. I am now down to 158lbs. I am feeling so much better in the 150s. I hope you are well!

    I am on day 8 and down 4.5 pounds. I am still experiencing side effects so my doctor said to stay on the same .06 dose. I love the weight loss but the nausea is pretty bad.
