"i have tried in my life every diet plan out there. i have lost and gained over and over. my family physician prescribed saxenda for me. my insurance company is paying it. my first week on it , i have lost 7 pounds. this makes me very hopeful. but you can&#039;t do it by using the drug alone. you have to reduce your caloric intake. i follow a program set up by a dietitian . i drink about 3 l of water a day. this will be a long road road for me, yet very positive!! my cravings has stopped altogether and no more late night snacking. i started to give my injections in the morning, but feeling so tired throughout the day. now i&#039;m feeling much better giving them at night. i do feel a little bloated and have had to use a gentle laxative  for constipation."
