I’m starting my Saxenda journey today! Anybody else on Saxenda with tips or success stories? I have about 10 stone to loose so a long way to go.

Day 4. No side effects as such, but about an hour after my injection my throat fell very full? Passed after another hour or so, no proving if it's Saxenda or not but I'm not particularly worried.

Hi all, I had my first injection 0.6 last night, feeling very nauseous this morning. Hope it passes quickly!

TauroLomo · 02/03/2023 19:47

Day 6, I'm KNACKERED! Is Saxenda tiredness a thing? If so, I have it 😂

TurnipSurprise · 02/03/2023 21:55

I think it actually is, maybe adjusting to the reduced calories/less sugar/less caffeine?

SilkySuky · 04/03/2023 18:55

Hi, day 1 tomorrow for me . I have 3mg rybelsus which is the oral semaglutide. Can anyone tell me, does your appetite just lessen? And what side effects have you all had? I'm expecting nausea and maybe some stomach upset. TIA

Hi all, I'm starting again (again) I had a pen in the fridge from last time so I started again on the 27th Feb so far I've lost 11 lbs which I'm delighted with. I'm on 0.6 +5 clicks but what I've done differently this time is I take the 0.6 in the morning and the 5 clicks in the evening it stops the late night food craving for me. I've got so much weight to lose probably another 7stone but I've got incentive with my daughter getting married Sept 24. Wanted to say hello and we got this 😊

hey all,

I'm starting tomorrow and so nervous/excited at the same time! Does any one have any tips on where is best to inject? Think that's what I'm dreading!

Chattycatty · 14/03/2023 18:07

I do in the stomach @litt@littlemissminor@littlemissminor@littlemissminor@littlemissminor

Chattycatty · 14/03/2023 18:08

God sorry no idea what happened there. I found the thigh painful but lots of people rotate thigh stomach arm. Best of luck to you

littlemissminor · 14/03/2023 19:17

Thanks so much! How are you finding it?

Chattycatty · 14/03/2023 20:09

I'm finding it great I'm just 15 days in and I've lost 11 lbs

littlemissminor · 14/03/2023 21:57

Do you mind me asking how much it costs you

jodielouise26 · 18/03/2023 08:01

@smm88

I'm staying on 1.8 for the second week because it's still working for me and this way the pens last longer.

I've just purchased 5 pens from boots with discount for £192
I first purchased 3 pens from another online pharmacy and they were £51 each x

Furball · 18/03/2023 09:46

I've just ordered 1 pen to see how I go - feeling hopeful as to be fair nothing is working for me at the moment.

Hope it goes well for you!

I wasn't thinking it was gonna work but I'm quite impressed :)

Furball · 18/03/2023 15:00

thanks @jodielouise26

I'm also gaining lots of inspiration from all the lovely posters here who seem to have great success

Furball · 18/03/2023 15:03

@jodielouise26 - Can I kindly ask where you got the Boots discount from as that would be great to have going forward. Thank you

I started 2 days ago on 0.6. Felt blergh and struggled to eat about 800 cals. Decided to reduce it to 0.3 last night. It's 13:30 and I still haven't managed to eat anything yet today!

Do I force something down?

ThemysteriousH · 18/06/2023 06:09

@Hiccups1 how did you get on?
