Obesity
"I am a weight loss war veteran. My highest weight was 337 and have had two bariatric procedures since 1996. I started 1.5 year ago a low carb diet and went from 245 to 213 and was stuck there for 9 months. June of this year, I started Saxenda. I have reached my goal now of 165. I will continue on the medication to get a bit lower.  I hope to find a stabilizing dose and continue taking it forever if possible. It absolutely shuts of your appetite. I would obsess about eating and getting &quot;enough.&quot; The drug cuts down those thoughts. I eat very small portions but get full very fast. Side effects can be nausea that could be from having an empty stomach (sour felling.) Soda water seems to help.

As noted, constipation is a problem."
