"i started taking saxenda 6 days ago...right at the 3mg dose...starting weight 275. i have lost 10 pounds because i am not eating very much or at night; i&#039;m not hungry at all.  i have to force myself to eat.  i was told to keep the saxenda refrigerated so it won&#039;t burn, and i still can&#039;t believe i&#039;m injecting myself...i used to be such a needle phobe! i do not feel the needle going in and it doesn&#039;t hurt.  i have had bad heartburn so i&#039;ve been eating some tums and i bruise easily.  i&#039;ve been a little nauseous at times, but nothing unbearable.  certainly all worth it and the cravings are gone.  i don&#039;t even feel like going out to eat and that is not like me."
