obesity
"I started saxenda on August 17, 2017. My initial weight at the doctor's office was 229lb. My starting dose was 0.6 mg and now I'm at 1.8 mg. I've been on the medication for about 1 1/2 months and lost 16 lbs. I have very little side effects, but I do take my dose at night. I've noticed I'm not hungry in the mornings but force myself to eat. However, by the time the afternoon hits I am extremely hungry. I've been trying to stick to a 1200 calorie diet, making healthier choices. There are days I get off track. I haven't exercised much. I'm going to stick with it and see what happens. I know it's not a miracle cure, but a weight loss tool....I was hoping for a more drastic weight loss."
