Saxenda Journey Day 1! Pre doc appt and Post doc appt

So today was Day 1 of my Saxenda treatment. I made a video blog about the visit




What I forgot to mention was make sure you refrigerate your pens!!! Once you prime your pin (nurse or doc will show you how) then you don't have to refrigerate that one and you only need to prime a NEW pen and only once, before the first use.

Also all you do is grab your belly and put the needle in (PAINLESS!) and then push the bottom of the pen and you will hear a click and then you wait about 5-6 seconds and then remove the pen!! Super easy!

I'm really worried about side effects so not eating much today. Just had an atkins shake and drinking water and then I'm going to eat some small snacks throughout the day.

I'll keep you all updated! Please subscribe to my video blog on Youtube or on here and feel free to ask questions!

Here is my Day 1 Before Picture! I plan on taking a photo once a month!

Starting weight 257.6
Goal weight 150


I'll try to blog once a week unless I have major symptoms that I want to share!

See you next Tuesday!

    I also have been gaining weight as I age and had began gaining weight while trying to loose. Weighing 170, I trying to loose 20 but gained 40.

    I took my first shot last night, noticed slight nausea that went away after eating. I went out for brunch around noon and have noticed that 7 hours later- I feel as full as I did earlier.

    Thankyou for your blog... I've spent hours scavenging for info about what to expect and yours is very informative.

3 month Saxenda Update

Image
Hello everyone! Sorry it's been awhile since I have posted!! I put this on my video blog the other day but I also wanted to post here that I've decided to post both written and video blog once a month to keep everyone updated. If I get alot of questions then I will post more. In 3 months I lost 28 pounds!!! I'm super excited! I'm still at 1.8. I tried to go up to 2.4 and felt really sick so I went back down to 1.8. My doc is on board and as long as it's working he's cool with me staying at 1.8 I'm hoping to go off my blood pressure meds soon. My bp was the lowest it's been in years at my doc appt last week so that's also exciting!!! Please let me hear from those of you on saxenda about how it's going! Also for those of you thinking about it go ahead and post some questions. I'd love to tell you more about it. I'll post again in a month! Here's my progress pic from start to 3 month pic I can really tell and I know i...

Rough week last week and starting week 10 of Saxenda

Image
Well last week was a rough one for me. For some reason my self control was at a 0 last week. Those of you out there who have a true emotional addiction to food can feel my pain. It was as if nothing could satisfy my cravings and all I wanted was the really bad stuff. I indulged.... a lot and I knew it meant the scale yesterday morning would mean no loss but at the time I just gave in. I had to re start my commitment to myself today. There are so many people out there who can't get this medicine because their insurance won't cover it or they get too sick on it to stay on it. I'm blessed that although I have some side effects for the most part I'm good on this medicine and above all it works! So I'm back to the basics this week.  I'm going to try and restrict my carbs, and stay within my 1200 calorie limit. I'm going to drink a lot of water and avoid sweets and fast food. I think I'm so used to failing that before when on a diet whenever I had a rough we...

STARTING WEEK 5 OF SAXENDA

Image
Well today marks exactly one month on Saxenda!! I lost 3.4 on week 4 for a total of 16.8!!! I'm super excited!!! I can tell a little bit myself that my body is changing but I don't think it's visible to anyone else yet. Here's a side by side of may pic on left and today's pic on right. I'm still at 1.8 and I do now get hungry but I'm still full after eating a small portion. I'm staying within 1200-1300 calories a day. For those who prefer to watch rather than read or for those who like both. Here's my video blog link. Don't forget to subscribe and I will update again next week!
