Obesity
"I&rsquo;m an average 55 yr. old guy who started Saxena one month ago.  So far I&rsquo;ve lost 14 pounds (295 &ndash; 281).  My appetite has decreased and my energy has increased.  I&rsquo;m also trying to be more active and drink less alcohol so I&rsquo;m sure that helps too.  To be honest I thought I&rsquo;d lose my weight by now but I&rsquo;m happy with the 2 -3 pounds a week.  I see this drug and my new approach to eating and fitness as a life changing event so I&rsquo;m happy being patent for some obvious body changes.  No one but my spouse has noticed any difference. 

The drug is easy to take and after the initial fear of giving myself a shot it has been quite easy.   The best part of this drug is that all the crazy cravings have stopped.  Before Saxenda I could eat a &frac12; gallon of ice cream or &frac12; a pie in one sitting but I haven&rsquo;t had the slightest desire to even take a bite since I&rsquo;m on the drug.  It&rsquo;s been remarkable. 

 I&rsquo;m thankful that my insurance covers almost all of the drug as it&rsquo;s ridiculously expensive paying for it on your own. 

I&rsquo;ll post again in a month or two.  Look for Average guy D."
