Hi

I just wanted some advice really. Has anyone taken the Saxenda injection and can I have some feedback! I’m researching now and am happy to outlay the money just need to know if it’s worth it.

Please be kind I diet on and off constantly I’m useless at it. I don’t know which way to go next. I have such a weird relationship with food.

I have been on it 2 months now, works well. Ive had no issues at all

Gameofbones · 13/06/2021 22:53

@theoldtrout01876 can I ask how much you had to lose and how much has come off so far?

I saw this and am really interested. How does it work and how much have people lost?

theoldtrout01876 · 13/06/2021 23:21

BreasticlesNotTesticles there you go. I have to say it is wicked easy, I literally have no appetite ever. Ive not had a single hunger pang since I started on it. It is not a miracle cure though. Thats why Im seeing a nutritionist too got to make sure I do actually eat enough so I dont bugger my metabolism any more than its buggered

Gameofbones · 15/06/2021 20:59

I have ordered my pens! I shall update.

Gameofbones · 15/06/2021 21:09

Saxenda honestly I don’t know if it will work but other lovely poster has reassured me. I’ve purchased a months supply.

Please could you send me the info, too, if you wouldn’t mind?
Thank you

Doesn't this have potentially serious side effects? Are you saying it can be bought without a prescription?

wizzywig · 16/06/2021 10:12

I found it worked for me for a few days (ie, no appetite), then stopped. Also I found it near impossible not being able to eat in the evenings. By that I mean, not going out for a meal in the evening

Mojitomumma · 16/06/2021 10:12

Please can I have a link/info, thank you

TimetohittheroadJack · 16/06/2021 10:17

I've tried it and it made me feel rotten. I bit like early pregnancy went to are not sick but you just feel a bit sick all the time. It did stop me eating though. I only bought one pen and didn't finish it as I just couldn't handle feeling like that.

PinkSkyBlue · 16/06/2021 10:21

Can you please inbox me with details x

TimetohittheroadJack · 16/06/2021 10:23

Sorry about my grammar!

I bought it on a private prescription - lots of online sites offer it. You have a 'virtual' consultation with a doctor. I think it was about £70 per pen. At the lowest dose a pen lasts about 15 days, but you are meant to increase the dose so to 1 pen every six days. Which at 70 per pen is pricey!

So does that mean for a few days, you had no appetite and couldn't go for a meal?
SnaccidentsHappen · 16/06/2021 10:32

Could I have some info please? Could be a game changer for me

Bells3032 · 16/06/2021 10:35

I used Ozempic which is similar but once a week not every day. honestly made my stomach feel awful and my breath constantly smell like rotten eggs. i honestly gained weight with it as the only things i could stomach were carby stuff. you also need a decent diet plan with it else it's just pointless

Rather than pm everyone can't you just write it here so we all can benefit please?
MrsRonaldUlyssesSwanson · 16/06/2021 10:36

It gave me constant migraines and stopped my periods. and the weight goes back on when you stop having the pens. be very careful and look at the side effects.

Oneearringlost · 16/06/2021 11:10

OP, search for Saxenda, welcome, journey on here, there are 25 odd pages from posters. Good luck.

Gameofbones · 16/06/2021 19:13

@Ostara212 my appetite did vanish for a few days. But I'd eat breakfast and lunch. I was advised not to eat after 2pm. So no more dinners.
