Stay hydrated - sounds cliche but with diarrhoea you lose a lot of fluids plus it can help settle the nausea.

Thanks. I’m trying with the water but it’s hard as feel so sick. I’m really hoping this is temporary and goes
Little update - I’ve given up. For whatever reason , it just doesn’t agree with me and I can’t withstand the side effects, I have been so unwell it’s a joke.
I thought I could do it this around knowing what the side effects are like, but I really can’t. It’s been too much.
So pens have been thrown in the bin and it’s back to the drawing board! Gutted but already feel better today by not having todays jab.
I hope you all have loads more success than me - there are so many fantastic success stories with Saxenda, that it most definitely works for a lot of people. x

I promise you if you can battle the first week you'll be great
Its lucky I work from home as I had to work from bed the first few days xxx
I can totally understand where you're coming from with this, I'm sorry that it hasn't worked out for you
Hope you find something that does.I'm on my 2nd day of 1.2mg, and I've been so nauseous all day that I'd be lying if I said I wasn't considering jacking it in after I finish this pen. Been retching and very very close to vomiting, with headaches and low energy. Not fun.
I must say, today is the first day that I've significantly reduced my calorie intake, and it's happened to coincide with the day in which i've felt the worst, and I can clearly tell not eating has made that happen for me. Other days the nausea was manageable, so I'll keep persisting to find the level of eating that works for me nausea-wise, without slowing my weight loss to a point that makes spending 60 quid every couple weeks not worth it.
Drink lots of water. Have a glass as soon as you get up and carry on all day. Make sure you’re getting at least 2 litres. Last time I made an effort with getting my water in, I lost 5lbs that week!
I need to follow my own advice too!
This is super weird. I’ve been taking the injections since Tuesday and that day I weighed myself in the morning before food. I’ve not experienced any side effects (so far) and was feeling a bit down. Got on the scales and I’ve lost 6lbs?! Does this burn fat or anything because even though I’m having smaller meals and gone for 2 short walks I don’t get how I’ve lost so much in such a short time!
No it doesn’t burn fat. It decreases appetite by slowing down your stomach emptying so you feel/are full. Don’t forget you will probably lose some water weight too when you first start as you’re eating less. I lost 6.5lb in my first week too 
Oh that makes sense! I was getting a bit worried/confused by it so wanted to double check. How much have you lost total?No it doesn’t burn fat. It decreases appetite by slowing down your stomach emptying so you feel/are full. Don’t forget you will probably lose some water weight too when you first start as you’re eating less.

Also have found I’m needing to use the loo more since starting the jab so that could be contributing.
I’m just over 60lbs down since July. I haven’t weighed for a couple weeks (battery ran out on the scales 
) so it’s probably a little more as my clothes are feeling looser than when I last weighed. Also a 22 down to a 12/14.
Sounds like it’s working great for you! If the needing the loo more is
then be aware that will probably slow right down. Lots of the ladies on this thread need a little something to help it along. But keeping on top of water will definitely help that.
When you say no side effects do you mean none of the nasty ones (sickness, headaches etc) or not feeling full quickly?

I mean needing to urinate a lot haha. That’s the only side effect so far. Not feeling full, no headaches, no sickness etc. I will probably get them when I increase the dosage as I’m on 0.6mg (the starting dose).
I really do. It’s been life changing for me.
It probably is some water weight too then the feeling full might take a little longer to kick in but it definitely will. It’s quite satisfying to get half way through your meal and realise you can’t possibly manage another mouthful because you’re so full. Hopefully you can avoid any of the nasty side effects. I have mostly, other than going to 2.4mg - that was horrendous for me at first, but when it settled I was fine and every other step has been easy. I’ve had a few bad days (sickness mostly!) but generally no awful side effects.

collect them today or tomorrow. Used welcome20 and saved £48 xxThat’s great! When are you going to start?
I plan to start Wednesday morning as I'm off work for a week so hopefully any side effects subside by the time I go back into work xxThat’s great! When are you going to start?
Good luck seems sensible to wait until you have a few days off just incase but hopefully you won’t get any side effects
