Sorry to hear it hasn’t worked for you. Remember to come back if you do qualify for WegovyI’m going to stop the Saxenda. I’ve been on it since mid February and my mood is at it worst, I’m constantly constipated and I’ve only lost around 5lbs total. Last time I spoke to the Dr they said I might qualify for Wegovy when it comes to the NHS so I may try that but unfortunately Saxenda hasn’t been successful for me.
You’ve all been such a supportive bunch and I wish you well on your weight loss journey!

Well done that is a really good weight lossI’ve lost 10lb the first month on Saxenda which realistically I know is a lot more than I would without it but the expense and some of the days feeling absolutely rotten don’t seem to make me feel happy about it. I went to 1.8 but it was too much I couldn’t eat at all and felt sick so I’m on 1.2 again and not going to increase while it’s working I just bought extra needles. worry about whacking it back on anyway but I need to keep going now I’ve started as I always give up on things too soon
Thank you, I have PCOS and under active thyroid as well as taking anti depressants meds so losing is usually virtually impossible. I know what you mean about thinking you could do it with willpower but I guess that’s never worked for me before not having the appetite is a good thing but it does spoil enjoyment of family meals and things doesn’t it. I think I miss getting my comfort from food. I don’t think I’d be able to ever get to 3 I felt so ill on 1.8 but I’ve been doing what they suggest on Reddit and going up by clicks sometimes so 0.6 + 5 clicks for a week and then 1.2 to get a dose half way between maybe you could try thatHope everyone is getting on ok and good luck to the people who are starting it. I am still plodding on down about 12 1bs since January. Sometimes I think it is the best thing since sliced bread and then other days I feel it is a load of rubbish, probably just the way I am feeling. I probably could have lost that weight if I had just dieted normally and tried to have a bit of will powerI have 8 pens to use but not sure if I am going to order any more as it is expensive. I am only on 1.8 because I felt too sick but I am ok on that dose now. Should I go all in and increase it like they recommend upto 3.0 and use pens quicker and try to get it off quicker or should I stay on lower dose and try and wheedle as much time out of the pens? I am just maintaining at the moment I still want to lose about another stone? Sorry this is a bit of a rambling confusing post as I am in a bit of a quandary with it all. I have hardly eaten anything today, as we where having a takeaway curry for tea, was looking forward to it although a much smaller portion than I used to have, that effing changed when I saw mold on top of the yoghurt sauce for the chicken tikka FFS certainly felt like spewing up after seeing that straight in the bin!!
I have also noticed certain foods are tasting weird which I think is down to the Saxenda, a Lemon Drizzle cake I had a bite of tasted really medicated and Skips tasted rancid, has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if it is the drugs way of trying to stop you eating? I had a sniff of the Saxenda as @rasperryjuice said it smelt of Germoline and it does I was going to taste it but thought better of it
