I lost ~50 lbs over 9 months in 2015.
But beware, obesity is a chronic illness. Unless you find another way to manage, stopping Saxenda will slowly bring the pounds back.
I am starting out at a much higher weight than I was before and am now prepared to use Saxenda for years to come.
There is a reason why insurers now consider it a “maintenance medication” for obesity. Not just for the weight loss, but also beyond.1 -
Hi! I have been on Saxenda since Sept 2017. I lost 50lbs in the first year and had maintained it up until the pandemic. I have now gained 20lbs back it seems to not be working like it used to. In all honesty I did stop tracking and exercise was impacted as well. But the "feeling fuller longer" from Saxenda seems to have weakened as well. Anyone having similar issues after prolonged use?1

I've been on Saxenda for 2 months now and have lost 17lb so far.2

I have the similar experience as mathgal2003. I lost probably close to 70lbs total over a year and it was amazing. My stomach became very sore from the injections though and after a while I felt like I wasn’t absorbing it as well. So I took a break from it, also during the pandemic. I’m definitely back up about 25lbs.
Two months ago I asked to go back on it but instead my doctor prescribed dulaglutide since it’s a once a week injection. I’ve barely lost 3lbs on it. Actually have a doctors visit this morning.1 -
I started Saxenda at the end of May of 2021 and am currently at a 15 - 20 lb loss. I am hoping to lose between 30 to 40 more. 0

I am taking my shot every morning but it seems to be less effective as before. It's been about 2 months so far and I have lost about 10 pounds but the last few weeks its been up a pound, down a pound which is frustrating. I follow very closely and try to stay between 1200 and 1300 cal per day. Anyone else have this experience?
