It sounds like it could be a coincidence. A bit of nausea would make sense, but, not a cold. As for me, I've officially lost over 20lbs since starting Saxenda on February 4th. I have lost 7 inches off of my waist, from 42 inches to 35 inches. I had blood work done and my Doctor said that it isn't hurting me at all! Perfect…

I am at 3.0 and I find that I can push through it. I definitely need my sleep at night, unlike before. However, if I drink water I do feel a bit better. I'm about to add some resistance cardio to my day, I'll let you know if that helps out!

Congratulations on starting! It seems that no two experiences are exactly alike. Personally, I find it difficult to eat too many calories. My meals have shrunk in size significantly. Instead of one, or two, pieces of pizza with 4 chicken wings, on a Friday night, I have one piece of pizza and that's it. Now, I even feel…

Thanks!

17lbs and 6 inches off of my waist, friends!!

That's fantastic!! Great job!!

I've noticed that if I don't stay on top of my water, I am quite dehydrated.

Congratulations! This has been a wonderful group to be a part of the past few weeks. You will have support here.

WOWOWOWOWOW!!!! AMAZING CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

I lost almost a pound a day for the first week. Now, it's more like half a pound or so. I would say that you should put less on your plate than usual. I feel extremely full if I eat too much. Sometimes, I only eat a small amount and I feel like I ate a meal for four! I remember feeling that way, regarding feeling like it…

I'm in the same boat. I haven't really changed much of what I eat and I chase a toddler and a preschooler. The shoveling has helped lately too lol. The calories I drink are in a glass of wine at the end of the day and I am down 13lbs since February 4th.

I used to take it at noon, then at 3 and sometimes at 5. I have two little guys so, I've been having a hard time being consistent. When I have the doses closer together, I can sometimes feel nauseated. For the most part the nausea has subsided. Exactly like Acacia2India said, I feel full. It's unreal. It gives you the…

Like you, I had reservations. I have another 68lbs to lose and at the time I decided to ask my Dr about Saxenda, I had over 80lbs to lose. For me, the most frequent issue is being backed up. At first I had nausea, but that's no longer an issue. It dramatically decreases your appetite and, for me, it has decreased, if not…

Oh drat. Well, I hope that you are feeling better very soon!

Great job!! I've lost 11.8lbs and I'm at 1.8.

I am going up to 1.8 today and I could say that I have maybe felt a little "backed up",or gas like, but nothing that I would classify as pain.I hope that you get that sorted out! Let us know what your Dr says about that.

That's great! Thank you for sharing. I almost feel like I would lose a bit more if I could get things going in that department. Thanks so much.

What dose are you on? I literally never feel hungry. I'm going up to 1.8 today. So, you get hungry after eating? That's odd. I feel so full and I feel like I've over- eaten. I go to bed terrified that I won't lose anything because I've eaten too much. But, everyday, I'm down something. Even though I'm not eating a lot, I…

Way to go!!!! Two more days until another dose increase! (for me) 9lbs gone so far!

Poor you!! I haven't felt that badly yet. Just remember, you are doing this for you and for her. Plus, Paw Patrol isn't so bad. At best, it was a kids show and not Chuckie. Hang in there. From what I hear, it gets better. You're doing so well!

Oh, and I increase to 1.2 tomorrow.

Congratulations!! Keep up the amazing losses!! I've lost 7lbs since last Thursday. I'm hoping that I keep progressing. I spoke to the dietitian from Saxenda Care today. I'm interested in our follow ups after I receive the package she sent.

That's a great suggestion! Are you down two pounds in two weeks, or since you changed your dose? I was down 0.2 today. I know it's not much, but the neat thing was that I was the same just now. I know that I shouldn't get on the scale all of the time. In an effort to keep my excitement of the medication working at bay, I…

Senokot! That's the laxative someone mentioned.

That sounds awful! I ate a very small piece of pizza tonight and I'm wondering how I'll pay tomorrow. I read somewhere that someone took something to get things going, as to not have the discomfort. I'll check into what it was! Thanks for the welcome :-)

Hi all, I'm three stabs in and I am so relieved to find others on the medication! It appears as though I've already lost 2lbs. Currently 222, hoping for 150. In my teenage years I was about 145-155. I thought I was fat.. if only I could go back and smack myself. After having two children and fluctuating in weight from…
