"my md prescribed me this drug for weight loss. i&#039;m a 42 year old female who has struggled with weight all of my life, and i&#039;m starting to have all of the health issues that are going with it. i am on my 3rd week of victoza and i&#039;m at 1.8 dosage. i&#039;ve had some severe nausea this week, and last week burps (the rotten egg kind) but that has been mostly it. i&#039;m not sure how much weight i&#039;ve lost, but i can tell i&#039;m losing it quickly. i simply don&#039;t want to eat. i have to force myself to eat, and when i do, my calorie intake is often times less than 1,000 calories a day. i hope the side effects settle down."
