I'm taking the new weight loss drug Saxenda. Already down 7kg after 1.5 months. Is anyone else taking it, and what are your experiences?

Note: this is a focused thread about Saxenda, not about:

How you think Saxenda is a scam
How you lost weight using a low carb diet
How you think this is a MLM effort
What you feel about obesity and dieting generally.

Thanks!

Edit: please note, I am not affiliated with any drug or drug company and I do not receive payment for discussing my weight or Saxenda (I wish I did!)

      You're right, no one cares. All most of us see is an expensive drug, with minimal effectiveness, and negative side effects. We're not just going to stay out of the thread and let people carry out a one sided sales pitch for the product, without offering safer and healthier alternatives (of which there are many). You don't just get to share your opinion and tell everyone else to gtfo.

    Why are there always so many new 'tricks' for losing weight when SCIENCE is pretty clear…. caloric deficit is all that's important. N when you're obese you'll lose weight even on junk food if you're eating less than what you're eating normally lmao that's how easy it is to lose weight when ur fat

I for one can't wait until there is a pill I can take that ensures I can eat whatever I want without having to worry about gaining weight. It will simply let me absorb the optimal nutrition and disregard the rest. Sadly I don't think I'll see it in my lifetime.

Anyway, the problem with this one is the cost. It's just not feasible to use long term. But costs will come down of course and formulas will improve.

Despite all the hate in this thread, obesity is a huge (no pun intended) and costly problem. For chronically obese people, I definitely support medication if available.

  Sensible comment. The cost is outrageous, but depending on how much you have to lose, you may not need to take it for very long. The trick then is to maintain the new lower weight, and only 50% of people do, after 3 years (which is not too bad).

Interesting drug OP, gets great results. Glad to hear it is working for you. Is it an injectable?

Ignore half the heroes posting, if weightloss was that easy, obesity wouldnt be such an epidemic. Additionally, I looked at one commentors posting history and he eats a whole stack of fast food, obviously doesn't understand that someone can be metabolically obese but maintain normal weight.
- Joe Sixpack on 12/02/2018 - 21:53
  
  Yes this is an injectable.
BertieBrown on 12/02/2018 - 19:23

Howdy do Joe Sixpack, how are you finding the drug? Have you experienced any side effects whilst taking it?
- Joe Sixpack on 12/02/2018 - 21:52
  
  Yes. I had headaches, felt sick, and had muscle pain in my neck and shoulders. This all got so bad that I considered stopping it, but didn't want to swallow the loss of money, so I continued at a low dose on every other day (against manufcaturer's recommendations). This got me over the side effects, which eventually faded away.

If you have a medical condition that prevents you from losing weight, you are exempt from the "eat less, move more" debate.

      On 2000 cals/day, I found I was so hungry at night I had to eat something or I could not sleep. That's the genes I have.
      
      Now on Saxenda I am comfortable on 1500-1600 cals.

      Obesity is certainly on the rise, which is why we all need more help to stop it. Clearly the old "eat less, move more" advice is not working.
      
      despite 1,0000 different pills around.
      
      There are actually very few medically approved obesity medications, just a handful. We need more. And more are coming.

      Those pills actually do more damage than good.
      People with wishful thinking end up taking them as their only hope and avoid true exercise.
      
      I would challenge anyone to get 'fat' if they:
      
      Dedicated 1-2hours of exercise daily (walking, running, pushups at home, gym, hiit workout)
      
      Cut out high saturated processed foods/takeaways/ and processed sugars like soft drinks.
      
      Both steps are mostly free, require none of your magic pill rubbish and are proven to work scientifically.

      What I'm saying is that its way too early to tell, none of us can say either way but one thing that is true is that the type of drug it is and how new it is, its a reasonable risk that its going to have a long term drug issue.
      
      Think of it this way.
      
      Proton-pump inhibitors were released in 1988 and now in 2017 we have learnt that it potentially has many serious long term risks.
      
      This is common for drugs.

      So your view is that even though nobody has faced a serious health issue as a provable direct result of Saxenda, we should wait another decade or two before we start using, just to be absolutely sure it's harmless?
      
      So even though drugs like this can help us escape obesity, which we KNOW is a very dangerous condition, we should not use them because they could, possibly, maybe, be harmful?

      Very unlikely. Saxenda (liraglutide) has been used under the trade name Victoza by diabetics —who take it daily— for nearly a decade. I'm going to be using it for a few months. I think my chances of a bad outcome are vanishingly small.

Thanks for this topic OP, it looks like this drug is more promising than Xenical (explosive diarrhea) or Duramine, anyway.

And for everyone else, obesity is a more complicated problem that you think. There's a reason why so many Samoan people are overweight and so few Japanese are, and its not related to willpower. Even in terms of our drive to eat, there's a big component of the problem that is genetic.

My wife is rake thin, her weight has probably fluctuated less than 1kg in all the time I have known her, whereas I can put on weight just by looking at food.

I'd compare it to alcoholism. I can take or leave alcohol any time I want, but there are other people who can't consume alcohol at all without risking it becoming an addiction.
- Joe Sixpack on 12/02/2018 - 22:21
  
  @cannedhams: Yes, I considered Duramine and Xenical (great if you enjoy oily spotting in your underwear, fecal incontinence, flatus with discharge (dirty farts) and abdominal cramping, to say nothing of the raised blood pressure, dry mouth, constipation, headache, and insomnia).
  
  Saxenda looked like the only reasonable alternative.

    Sorry to take this off topic as I have never used saxenda. I did use xenical for about 6 months a few years back. The side effects were not that bad, I never ended up with dirty underwear or anything like that but since it makes the fat pass through your body I imagine side effects would be bad if you were eating a high fat diet.
    If you follow the recommended eating plan that is provided you probably won't have many side effects, but also probably won't have much benefit from the Xenical. It apparently blocks 30% of calories from fat being absorbed, but the eating plan recommends a diet where only 10% of your total calories come from fat which means if you stick the eating plan the xenical itself is only preventing 3.3% of your total calories being absorbed.

Parentheses on 12/02/2018 - 23:20

For everyone reading this thinking they've hit the jackpot - Saxenda reduces weight by reducing your appetite. It does not cause you to burn more calories, or process less of the calories you eat. It is a crutch for those people without the willpower to eat less and move more. In ALL studies which show it helps with weight loss, it only does so in conjunction with a medically regulated diet and exercise program.

Try just the diet and exercise first, and if you can't (as in, tried actually speaking to a doctor and therapist regularly and gave it a solid try for 1-3 years can't) then even if this does cause you cancer or makes your balls go black and fall off it's probably healthier than keeping the weight.
- mrp11 on 13/02/2018 - 00:48
  
  Very few people can force themselves to exercise regularly for their entire life unless they are the small percentage that love exercise,and many are carb addicted without knowing it all they know is the carb heavy foods make them feel good via raising blood sugar.
  
  The exercise more is propaganda,and has been an excuse of the sugar industry,and those that benefit from selling sugar laden products,they also deflected the obesity/illness problems onto fat consumption when it was sugar that was the problem all along,look up how long it takes to burn off any food to see how useless it is for fat burning,it is good for health though.

I didn't use it but I've tried intermittent fasting coupled with a high fat, low carb diet (with all my regular exercise)

And I've managed to lose 1-2kg 3 weeks in. Lost a lot of belly fat and feeling really happy about it.

No more simple sugars for me :(

I have never tried any weight-loss drugs, but I thought I'd share that the only long-term weight loss strategy that has worked for me was intermittent fasting. I've used the 5:2 diet and the 16:8 diet.

- doodo477 on 13/02/2018 - 10:42
  
  Little bit of maths:
  1kg=7700Calories
  (17 kg*7700) = 130,900 Calories lost total
  130900/(3*31)= 1,407 Calories deficit per day.
  
  [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/528122]
  Average RMR (resting metabolic) is 1421 kcal/24 h.
  Average Daily Activity 1421*1.3=1,847.3 cal's
  
  So taking everything together by diet where eating 440.3 calories per day (with moderate exercise).
  
  I would have to say, just with Duromine alone, it would be difficult.

    The reference link is based on women, not sure if its the same for men.
    Either way, 17kg gone :)

      Amazing nobody voted you down! Apparently Duromine does not attract the hatred of Ozbargainers like Saxenda does. Maybe because Saxenda is expensive?

      @Joe Sixpack:
      Duromine is around $130 for 1 month supply, I don't consider that cheap :)

      @Zotech:
      
      I think it's cheap. A month's supply and a few kilos lost, all for the same price as one visit to Woollies? Bargain.

Is anyone else taking it, and what are your experiences?
Coming to a bargains website to talk about a drug that costs $400 a month instead of spending less money by eating properly and exercising. Of course you will find opposition.

To answer your question, no I'm not taking it but I know someone who did.
They could only use it for a short amount of time because they were getting incredibly dizzy, and nauseous. They described it as being similar to having vertigo.
Did they lose weight; Yes.
Did they have to take time off work because they couldn't drive there; Yes.
- Joe Sixpack on 13/02/2018 - 10:35
  
  Thanks, that's interesting. Does he/she still have the drug? Because taking it every 2nd or even 4rd day is the best way, I've found, of overcoming these nasty side effects (which usually fade with time).
  - doodo477 on 13/02/2018 - 10:51
    
    Have to say, with a calorie deficit of above 1,200 per day you normally have these effect.
  - manshrew on 13/02/2018 - 13:34
    
    I'm not too sure on the specifics of how often they were taking it, I assume that it was what was recommended by the doctor.

I was on Duromine 30mg 2 months ago. Losing 6kg every fornightly (exercising everyday for 30 minutes), until I found that the keto diet is suit me. So I am off from Duromine now. Still losing weight and also still have the second month prescription in my car`s dash.

Duromine makes my mouth dry and hard to sleep at night (only for the first week) but really suppressed my appetite. I took it every other day after the first week because my Doctor would not give me more than 3 month`s supply.

I am limiting my carb and sugar intake now and I am enjoying my new diet.
hamwhisperer on 13/02/2018 - 14:46

How does it work? Is it a metabolism increaser?

I generally change my diet, no sugar, no carbs, many many more veggies / fibre. Works every time, but not much muscle gained :/

Energy in, Energy Out. It's that simple.

Also, if you don't exercise and just diet/drug, you will lose muscle mass, and still be fat.

  Just add resistance training and you wont lose any FFM.

You'd be surprised at the result of just substituting water for beer/soft drink would do for weight loss even while eating the same.

I understand that you want to stay on topic, but keep in mind where you are posting. A topic like this really needs to be spoken of in an echo chamber, as all you are wanting is “I’m on it, it works” or “i’m on it, it doesn’t work.”

Unless people are seeking a drug based weight loss management protocol, they are going to respond to this thread with their own thoughts and opinions, and frankly, because of where you have posted it, you have no right to shut them down for that. You need to post in a pharmaceutical weight loss interest forum, and then you have the right to limit what people respond with.

Having been 115kg, and now sitting at 76kg, I am in the position where I can understand both sides, and I agree with the people you are shutting down.

Losing weight naturally is impossible, and you can try everything but it just doesn’t work, until you lose weight and suddenly that is all a load of bs.

Joe, are you affiliated in any way with the company making SAXENDA? Reading your posts make it seem so. If you are you should be listed as a vendor.

Posts by OP seem like a direct advertisement for the drug and need to be actioned upon by the moderation team immediately. The overall level moderation on this site has been pretty poor recently.

op, you wont get much sympathy on a "bargain" website posting about a drug that costs $400 a month

you are also "cheating" and therefor will not get much sympathy from the regular crowd who stick to the good ol eat well and exercise method of weight loss

your method of weight loss is a band aid solution at best. you stop taking the drug and you go back to where you came from. you seem to put 110% faith in all the medical reviews you have read.

go back and learn some history: doctors used to recommend smoking. now?

people didnt think twice about asbestos. now?

low in fat (high in sugar) foods were recommended. now?

the food pyramid used to have breads and pastas right at the very top. now?

do you see a trend. after a while (many many years, even decades) the truth comes out. you have seen the results of a 6 month trial and are now claiming to give full backing to this drug

in this age of political correctness, obese people are just too sensitive to hear the truth so they make up crap about how they cant lose weight. that big mac or 3 isnt making them fat. nor the packet of chips they sneak in before bed. nor the fact they barely walk 1000 steps a day

Couldn’t you just eat less food?
scud70 on 13/02/2018 - 21:17

I did light n easy for a year and lost 20kg, the 20 was the bonus having learnt nearly all diets like no carbs no this or that is all bulldust was the biggest thing I gained from the experience.. track your calories vs what you burn and that’s all you need.. a Fitbit n a calorie controlled diet.. I eat anything and everything, drink have deserts… just in much smaller portions than I used to.. it takes some will power but since light n easy didn’t starve me I never veered off my goal… anyway good luck reaching your goal weight, after a life time of being overweight it is enormously satisfying :)

Sorry for off-topic but can anyone recommend me a beginner 3 days workout plan that I can stick to?

Current status
Weight: 110KG
Height:181cm
Goal: lose weight and hopefully gain muscle
Activity level: low to moderate, work in an office

Thank guys.

  Ultimately high volume weight training is the best for 'lose weight and hopefully gain muscle'. As a start I would recommend a lower volume strength program first to build a base. Download the stronglifts app (3 days a week) and do it until you can no longer keep adding weight to the bar. After that you can look for a higher volume program to switch to.
  
  As per everyone else's advice though, diet is the most important part and the hardest part of losing weight. Working out is the easy part.

  You need to do HIIT or SMIT once or twice a week. Many current studies prove it is highly effective in reducing cholesterol, body fat and improving aerobic fitness. Incorporate it into a weight training plan and seek advice on a good diet and you won't go wrong.

LOL nice try. Very obvious that you are affiliated with this "miracle weight loss drug".

I'm amazed this post has not been removed or flagged as a marketing post yet.
Sid Delicious on 13/02/2018 - 23:29

Man this post all about SAXENDA sure doesn't feel like a paid post for SAXENDA at all. It's just a regular person talking about HOW MUCH WEIGHT THEY LOST with SAXENDA.

Ugh, I gave him the benefit of the doubt, but after reading through the thread, I am pretty sure he is just a low key marketer for the drug.
He doesn't engage in discourse unless it is positive to his predetermined desires, puts down any other point of view or just calls off-topic.

Save yourselves the hassle and just ignore.
