"started saxenda on january 8th. i am down 8.5 pounds. i&#039;m a nurse, so i don&#039;t mind the shots.  i&#039;ve been very pleased with the appetite control.  was really big on sodas (2-3/day) and snacking in between meals. now i drink a lot of water - constantly thirsty. have only had 1 soda since i started and the snacking has all but stopped.  some days i have to remind myself to eat.  i do have some nausea when titrating up on the dose - but its manageable. i have found my biggest problem is constipation which i am taking otc stool softeners for and seems to help. no fatigue at all. in fact, i&#039;m more active now than i have be in years. super excited to see the end result. my goal is 60 pounds!"
