Hey all. Just picked up my pens and going to start today! Can anyone advise as I’m going on holiday on Tuesday, I’ve read you can take the pens in your cabin luggage. I was wondering if anyone has done so and any tips? Thanks

Pens always go in hand luggage as they might freeze in the hold. Pop in a clear bag for security. Needles in the hold if possible.

I personally put my pens in the mini fridge when I got to the hotel but only because it was like 38 degrees in the day! Otherwise I would have left out of fridge no probs.

I managed to collect them from boots today! I called yesterday and they said they had just got the stock in, so went this morning and they said I’d already picked them up! I obviously hadn’t. They sorted it in the end but the whole process with boots was annoying, worth it for the 20% off though. I’ve been on 0.6 for weeks and not really losing anything so now I’ve got a new stock of pens will up the dose. Hoping to lose another 2 stone, I’m 5 stone down from my heaviest so feel like I’ve lost a lot of the motivation

Went up to 1.2 today and I’ve done nothing but vomit and sleep I feel horrendous and starting to think is it really worth it. I haven’t managed to drink or eat a thing and I still feel like I need to be sick will it pass or should I keep to 0.6

I found eating helped my nausea but I wasn't sure if the sickness was from being hungry or the jab tbh. The tiredness us something else though, feel like I could sleep for hours in an afternoon.

Just catching up on this thread so it might've been mentioned (I'll edit my post if it does!) but have you looked into Myo-Inositol? It's meant to be good for insulin resistance and PCOS, as well as general fertility and IVF. I'm not formally diagnosed with PCOS but have my suspicions and a lot of the symptoms but inositol is noticeably helping with regulating my periods and also sugar cravings

A year is a long time to make a difference! I don't take Saxenda, nor will I but I am interested in it and have done a lot of research on it (I work in a pharmaceuticals-adjacent job and tbh just like to research for fun, geek - i know!)

Ultimately, the only form of fat loss worth doing is something that is sustainable and that you can keep up after you've lost the desired amount.

Healthy, sustainable weight loss should be roughly 1 - 2 pounds a week. 43 weeks until June 2023 so that's 43 - 86 lbs (roughly 3 - 6 stone) in under a year!

I'm larger than yourself but have been calorie/macro counting and walking / working out more and have lost around 2 stone since march. It's coming off slowly but I feel healthier than I ever have, and it's just going to keep getting better.

Hi all, I’ve been on saxenda since March and got two stone weight loss today! Slower than some but I’m so happy. It’s been the most consistent thing for me, I’ve got 7 pens left and I think I’ll stop after then just because of costs but loved it! Would really recommend

Notworthy

Have you looked at why you gained the weigh to begin with and started to make adjustments so that you can continue your progress without Saxenda

Just got back from a week all-inclusive and I chose to still take my Saxenda while away. Still gained 6lbs Imagine if I'd not been restricted by Sax.

I shouldn't laugh because this is disordered eating at its finest but lol.

Does anyone find that sometimes when you pull the needle out of you that a pearl of the liquid appears at the needle? I do the injection, hold for 6 secs and then I hold for another 6 just to be safe and it still happens. I’m so worried about wasting it as it’s so expensive I usually just keep stabbing the needle back into my stomach until no liquid is on the needle anymore
