"i began taking saxenda on january 8th. the first month had a few side effects (acid reflux, nausea, injection site discomfort, and constipation). this all subsided over time. i&#039;ve been going strong for 4 months and have lost a little over 30 pounds. i started at 246.  since my appetite has been suppressed i eat smaller portions 5 to 6 times a day. prior to saxenda i would eat large quantities for lunch and dinner, never breakfast, and certainly snack at night. so, its forced me into better eating habits. i also try to eat whole grains, turkey, salads, etc. it&#039;s changed my lifestyle."
