Weight Loss
"I have been taking Saxenda since March 1, 2016.  In the last 5 months and 1 week, I have lost 48 lbs.  I started out at 268 lbs and am now at 220 lbs.  This medication has been life changing for me.  The only side effect I experience is constipation.  I try to combat this by drinking lots of water and taking Senokot at bedtime.  If anyone has better suggestions for this, I&#039;d love to hear as this is my greatest struggle at the moment. I give myself the injection at night before bed.  My goal is to lose another 40 lbs before I re-evaluate where I am with the medication.  My appetite has drastically lowered, so I find I really need to ensure I&#039;m making smart choices when eating, like adding healthy fats to give me more calories."
