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.

Off to Google what may be something very helpful but if anyone has any info you think I won't be able to easily access, please can you also pm me and I will love you forever!Grin

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.

@theoldtrout01876
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.
