Day one started… nervous of side effects after reading some articles.

I've embarrassingly a shed load of weight to lose - I’m hoping it helps. Awaiting bariatric surgery but live rurally and it’s years waiting list, these really are last resort options.

I have medical reasons for my weight gain.
Any success stories to outweigh the bad?

Watching with interest OP as I’m in similar plight. Is Saxenda the one which contains Semaglutamide?

@ThemysteriousH Can you share where you got it from?
I've been trying today and all sites say there is a national shortage.
Good luck.

GottaGirlcrush · 20/06/2023 23:11

I've taken a break but back on it now....day 2, no side effects but is working straightaway for me! Hunger has reduced drastically

Azandme · 20/06/2023 23:12

Lost 1st in 3 weeks, but sts last week - it was period week though.

After first few days side effects disappeared.

GottaGirlcrush · 20/06/2023 23:12

I get mine from Boots ( you can use Klarna) but it's restricted at the moment to just existing customers from past 3 months

justsaxy · 20/06/2023 23:27

Good luck! Please share progress!

Unfortunately not.. if anything I’m more hungry :/ I only have 1 meal a day as it is but wasn’t making healthy choices so I will be now.
I’ve woken up with horrendous sulphur burps that stink 🤢

Sold out ☹️

WoofWoofBeachLife · 21/06/2023 14:53

@ThemysteriousH you will smash this! Good luck and thank you for replying x

GottaGirlcrush · 21/06/2023 15:48

Boots aren't sold out, I got mine next day

They are limiting supplies to certain stores, and to existing saxenda customers only

Think ozempic is now being held back for existing customers also

I've tried every day this week. They have it in my local store but only for people already on it.

I have a whole months worth here. It didnt work for me AT ALL, they tried for over a year. Im pre diabetic and I was told it would fix that, it didnt. It killed ALL interest in food, I could go days and not need to eat but it turns out m problem is not over eating but years of under eating. I have no metabolism basically, so they took me off it. Using saxenda and trying to increase my consumption didnt work. Ive just been switched to wegovy, cant get that for love nor money over here though, but it didnt kill my interest in food

What are we doing about what feels like acid reflux? Rennie?

MissBridgetJones · 29/06/2023 13:52

@theoldrout01876 I'll take any unopened pens off your hands.
