Thanks so much, I do have a long way to go x

QueenBee I thought I’d replied last night but obviously not. Simple online pharmacy.

So first jab last evening. Trying to work out a time when I’ll be at home regularly.
Still fat.

I’m impatient

Hi ladies good morning!

I just made this account after finding this page via google, I wanted to ask you all a question and hopefully join in the chat.

So I just started with Saxenda yesterday 0.6,
well I was sick all day and felt horrendous! I couldn’t even keep water down. I was worst when I could smell food cooking, it sent me over the edge... if I didn’t know better I’d have thought I was back in the first trimester!

I couldn’t eat so in that sense it worked ha but my question is did anyone else start off like this and did you stick with it?

Also should I try again today but maybe just half so only do a couple of clicks to try and get to 0.3 say? I feel fine this morning btw!

Any tips really welcomed thank you (I need to lose 5 stone in the next 9 months!) xx

Feeling a wee bit queasy. Not unmanageable and might be just the heat or maybe just because I’m expecting it.

oh okay.. fantastic..

thank you 🌸

I’m not hungry! Weird.

I'm on Day 7 today and I'm not feeling hungry AT ALL. Do you think I should stick to 0.6 rather than going up tomorrow?

Hi Peach definitely stick to 0.6 if its working well for you at that dose. I've been on it now for about 3 months and am still on 1.8 and still seems to be working at that level. I would only increase if you feel that the drug is not helping you any longer.

Day 2. Still not hungry.

But I’ve never had to be hungry to eat and I simply have no desire to eat. This is bizarre.

sounds fantastic 🎉

@HmmmHashtag

Hello all, I'm back and restarting. Due to some absolutely horrendous unforseen circumstances, I decided to take a break, so have restarted today back at 0.6

Hoping the restart will yield fast results!

So... I started a fresh pen on the 29th June, I only used it for 2 days then gave up. Can I continue to use this pen if I start again on Monday, it has been in the fridge, or do I need to start another new pen?

I started using the pen on Wednesday and I think it’s working. I’m not hungry really and manage well on 1000-1200 calories. No cravings. But I haven’t lost any weight at all despite clearly being in a calorie deficit. Did anyone else not lose weight in the first week.

reduce your calorie intake a wee bit more.. see if this helps 🌸

@QueenBee52 thank you so much, I’ll try that: what about “starvation mode” etc?

[quote Lndnmummy]@QueenBee52 thank you so much, I’ll try that: what about “starvation mode” etc?[/quote]

I think that is nearer 700 calories .. I'm not 100% sure though .. a lot of people do a diet called Fast 800 .. fasting from say.. 8pm to 12noon then eating 800 calories.. so I assume (and I might be wrong) that the 800 is okay.. but as I say Im not 100%..

hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be along shortly 🌸

you could try 1000 .. that would help and is not too extreme 🌸

Evening all.
It’s been a whole week. Today was the first time I felt peckish late afternoon. I know I’m supposed to go up from tomorrow but I’m wondering if it’s worth waiting to see if I need to?
Not weighed myself at all this week yet but had a big weekend family thing with a lot of nibbling and drinks so not expecting miracles.

Thanks for the advice, I’ll try and reduce the calories. I’ve taken it in the morning so far but might try to experiment and take it later in the afternoon to help with evening peckish ness and remove the last 200 or so calories.

1.8 and 3 clicks … another 2lb off.

1 stone in 3 weeks woohoo.

How’s everyone else doing ? Injections are stinging a little now … don’t know if it’s the dose or coincidence or just starting to feel it more.

1 stone down…. 5 to go 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Well, I've lost 10lbs since 14th July which I'm really pleased with, and that's on 0.6 still. But I am having terrible fatigue which I'm struggling a bit with - also dizziness. I'm eating 1000cal a day and ensuring I'm getting enough protein (apart from today when I stupidly ate a chocolate brownie at Starbucks so now have to limit myself for the rest of the day!) so I think it must be a side effect - anyone else getting this?

Excellent losses.

I’m down 4lbs which I’m pleased with after my gluttonous weekend.
Supposed to go up today but seeing as I’m only a bit peckish late afternoon and scared of puking I went up 5 clicks instead.

I've just finished w1 as well. @oncallagain and yes I too felt peckish and was looking for nibbles on and off so I've also upped to 0.6 + 5clicks today. I've lost 4kgs on my first week and minimal side efects, bit tired, bit spaced out and bit headachy first 3 days. Very thirsty and sticking to 1300 calories daily.

Happy and motivated so far. I've got 30kgs to loose. Long way to go but at least I've started shifting it.

Great losses guys!!

I also feel light headed and a bit brain foggy but nothing major.

Getting hun ty on a night now so might try to take it earlier in the day.

Had a stressy morning so just ate lunch for the first time in days. I’m annoyed as I wasn’t hungry and now I feel blurgh. That’ll teach me.

What’s with the clicks you guys refer to? I haven’t read the instructions. I just turned to 0.6 and pressed one time. Is that not right?
