weight loss patient heather review

What is your experience with Saxenda?

My sister-in-law lost 4 stones with Saxenda so I thought I’d try it. I needed to lose 2 stones to get back to a size 12/14. My binge eating was completely out of control. I just couldn't for the life of me stick to a diet.

Then I started taking Saxenda. It worked straight away. I was able to change my eating habits without any problem. I ate 3 healthy meals a day, along with 3 healthy snacks. I had no urge to binge at all.

I started on the lowest dose and increased it each week. I found that each time I increased the dose I felt a bit under the weather for 2 days. By the time I had been taking Saxenda for 4 weeks, I found that I've stopped enjoying food so much. I could only eat half the food on my plate and I went completely off alcohol.

I had to stop taking Saxenda for 2 weeks as I couldn't afford it. My urge to binge came back really strong, and my weight was increasing. I started Saxenda again. Taking it to the third level over 3 weeks and not increasing the dose any higher.

It's working for me. I'm in complete control of my eating and I'm enjoying my food more with the lower dose. I also feel better. The pen lasts longer too. I'm now a size 12/14 and I feel wonderful!
