Hi I started Saxenda 2 weeks ago, 1 st week I lost 1 kilo, 2nd week I up my dosage to 1.2 with very little appetite , however I haven't lost anything! Still only the one kilo from the previous week. I'm quite upset as there's no progress.
Has anyone experienced this? From what I've read a lot of people are losing quite a bit of weight every week.
Any input would be appreciated

Im defeated. 5 weeks today, made it up to 1.8 as beyond that made me ill, my food and alcohol i take is massively decreased, im active, and not lost a single Lb. I can handle the side effects if i see results but nothing!!!

I am the same!! I started almost 4 weeks ago and am down about 9 pounds but there are days I barely eat a thing! I think I expected it to fall off but I hear gradual is better so I need to be happy with ANY weight loss.

I am in a very similar situation. I don't quite understand it. My appetite is greatly reduced and I am eating probably 30% of what I used to eat. But the weight is coming off very slowly.

Hi, I lost 20 pounds in the first 2 months then the weight loss slowed down. I've come to a complete stop on the weight loss now that I have been on it for a year. It feels more like I am using it to maintain than to lose now. But total I lost 35 pounds.
