"i started taking saxenda on december 27, 2016. for the first three or four weeks i struggled to beat the nausea and &quot;full&quot; feeling. i questioned if losing weight was worth being that miserable - however i pushed through. it&#039;s now march 21, 2017 and i have lost 23lbs. i have reduced my caloric intake and have increased my daily exercise. i am hoping to meet a goal that i have had set for years. in high school i gained 52lbs in seven months from birth control. since then i struggled with weight loss and ended up at 233lbs (the most i have ever weighed). i was miserable and tried exercise, dieting and everything else yet nothing worked. this medication so far has helped me set goals and reach them. i&#039;ll update in three months!"
