"i have been on saxenda since october 13, 2016 - and have lost 19 pounds.  i started off on a very gradual increase in dose which helped with side effects.  i only feel nauseated when i eat foods that i should not be eating.  the medication does reduce your appetite - so you need to ensure that you are eating regularly.  i am very happy with the results so far as it is helping to motivate me to make overall lifestyle changes - eating better and exercising.  still enjoy a little treat - but am careful not to eat anything that will upset my stomach.  i would encourage anyone dealing with obesity to give this drug a try.  it truly works and the side effects can be managed if you are committed to eating healthy foods."
