    I am on my 6th day on Saxenda. I have not felt any change, actually I feel hungrier. I hope this changes when I up the dose to 1.2. Good luck!

    I'm on a Saxenda sister, Trulicity and have been. No side affects. You guys will start feeling a difference if it's the drug for you. :wink: It's not making me loose weight but my blood sugar is MUCH better and I eat less.

    Saxenda doesn't make you lose weight. I believe it's supposed to regulate your appetite so you eat less. It's eating less calories that actually causes the weight loss.

    Hello eveyone! I am restarting Saxenda again. Yes, it does happen that you may fall off that wagon! My first round was 40 lbs in about 8 months. It's not a magic shot, you have to work at it.... hence falling off the wagon. I gained 21 lbs back in no time ( I blame the wheel that fell off the wagon haha).

    My only advice is eveyone is different! Don't compare their loss to yours. Take your clicks slowly. I never went past 2.4 (because it was working) and I only clicked up if I felt it wasn't working.

    You can do this (speaking to myself as wel), it takes patience.

    Hang in there....
