"recommended by my endocrinologist, he gave me 3 pens as samples. just started my third week into the liraglutide injections, had my first 1.8 last night. i&#039;m still experiencing a lot of cravings, and constant-ish hunger. my portions are smaller, not because i can&#039;t eat more, but because i choose to make smaller plates. so far i&#039;ve lost 6 pounds since october 7th (to october 22nd). i&#039;m not really feeling the weight loss, or many side effects (mild nausea very infrequently, and some constipation). hoping the higher doses have a better effect."
