Are you going to be on Saxenda daily? You start on 0.6.

I liked Saxenda and lost the majority of weight on it.
I always did the injection at night so I could sleep through any side effects was my thoughts.

I had no major side effects except (and I’m finding the same now I’m on Wegovy) and that’s a little constipation but I’m on other medications as well.
Always eaten whole foods/meals and lots of water.
