"i have only been on this med for a week. no lbs lost on the scale, but my belly seems flatter and coworkers say i look thinner. i have a bmi of 30 which may be why it will take me longer to lose the weight. i&#039;ve had severe nausea, moderate abdominal discomfort and heartburn. i&#039;m going to try protein shakes in the am as some folks here have suggested. on the downside my insurance  (which by all standards is fantastic), will not cover saxenda. so, i paid $1100 out if pocket for the first month. i must be desperate! guess i&#039;ll see how it continues to go. good luck to everyone! obesity sucks and i&#039;m tired of bring the chubby girl for 46 years! :("
