I lost 13lbs in 2 weeks, then it slowed down and severe constipation even though I drink LOTS of water. I am in week 5, lost 20lbs so far.

I take a stool softener and it seems to help a lot. I used to take Restorolax but it made me feel bloated. Now, I take senekot.

I'm on Saxenda and it's been about my 4th day. I take the medication at night in my thigh before I go to sleep. When I wake up, I have been having these horrible nauseating feelings and I was actually sick last night and through the day today. Does anyone else experience 'sulfur burps' as well? That's been common since I started this.

I have been feeling full and I've also been catching myself when it feels like I'm about to eat out of boredom. If you over eat, you WILL feel sick. I can guarantee that.

Since I've been feeling full, I've been having to force myself to eat breakfast. I had to force a piece of toast down today and I found myself chewing and chewing the same piece all the way to work today. A porkchop for lunch and probably a banana later. I just don't feel like I need to eat the way I used to. It's definitely impacting me in that manner and I am stepping back to look at what I've been eating.

TLDR; if you can't handle nausea at all, try a different approach.

I just started Saxenda on day 5 the lowest dose. I am constantly burping . I do feel nausea from time to time. Definitely eating less. I did over eat last night at dinner time and boy oh boy did I pay for it. I was in bad stomach pain all night. Woke up this morning feeling better but still burping and gasy. anyone else this way with gas and burps?

I’ve noticed when I start to burp more and get kind of those sulpher ones that means I’ll be sick soon. I was sick the first time I took the 1.8 dose, then again the next week at the 2.4 dose. Like 24 hour, thought I had the flu but too suspicious it happened two weeks in a row sick. The dr told me to stay on the 2.4 dose for a month but the next week I was sick again but not as bad. Had started to feel really gassy and naseous earlier and didn’t take my dose that day. Dr told me to go down to 1.8 for a bit. Been over a week since I’ve been sick but starting up again tonight. I think it’s when my stomach gets too full. I’m eating less than half than what I did but I’m also pretty constipated so I hunk there’s just no where for it to go.
