Is anyone on Saxenda? I started it 2 weeks ago and have lost 4lbs, delighted.
I’ve had a sore throat for 3 days and wondering if anyone else has had this side effect?

    Hello!

    I never experienced a sore throat but each person can have different reactions.

    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....
