Hi All,
I’m going to be starting Saxenda today, hoping this will help me to overcome my awful eating habits at the moment, which has made be gain 2 stone in a year.
Any advice would be great!

@Zireael I don't feel any different yet... I don't know if it takes a few days to kick in?

I don't feel any different today, but didn't really expect to immediately. Lets see how we are doing by Saturday night?

@Zireael I definitely have heartburn!!

Thanks Zireaeal, I like your thinking. My motivation mostly comes from a place of self-hatred right now (I’m 7lbs off my previous ‘heaviest’, I can’t enjoy anything until then), but I do need some more positive motivation, I’ll give that some thought 🙂

The other Christmas issue is having lots of trigger foods around, I literally caught myself picking up a tube of Pringles (with the intention of binge-eating), I managed to break the habit this time, but there’s still lots of temptation!

For those that have just started, you feel it working when you’ve eaten a big meal (make it protein-heavy).

First night was full of burping and bloatedness.

Hi all, when will the nausea and tiredness end?

lostinabook · 24/12/2022 17:20

8kg off since mid August. Not including 1 x all inclusive hol and a work trip to America where I gained and relist!

My happy dose seems to be the 2.4

Hi everyone. Christmas is a real challenge isn't it? My DH has just brought me up a cup of coffee in bed with a box of Lindor! I've had one and resisting having another. I've been on Sax just over a month and lost just under a stone. Bad nausea, eggy burps and fatigue in the first week and doing ok on 1.8 dosage. Looking forward to getting back on the wagon today ( despite the evil Lindor!) Losing about 2 pounds a week on a very reduced calorie diet. Happy Christmas everyone ☺️

Happy Christmas everyone, hope you are all well?

After me happily handing out advice, I have had two days of not taking any Sax at all. Had dose tonight. Not really feeling any different at all at the moment. Maybe I will once the dose increases? Will see...

Hi @Zireael , what does are you on?

Zireael · 31/12/2022 17:34

Hi @wizzywig I was on the 0.6 dose but yesterday increased to 1.2.

I weighed in for first time yesterday and would you believe it?! I lost 4lb!

wizzywig · 31/12/2022 22:41

@Zireael whoop whoop! Well done!
