Week 1 Weigh-In



I was a bit anxious this morning, as I knew I had to step on that nasty scale, but it had to be done.
Much to my surprise, I have lost 5 lbs this week!! Saxenda is working!!! Can you say party??
I'm sure I won't lose 5 lbs every week but this was a nice start!

Current weight: 164 lbs.

Here is what I experienced my first week:

I was nauseous for about 4 -5 days and hard horrible heartburn if I ate anything. I never felt hungry until last night (day 7) and I think that is just because my body has gotten used to the 0.6 mg dose. I was good last night, though, and just went to bed when I thought about eating something awful..lol!
The nausea and heartburn went away the last couple of days...again, its probably because my body is used to the low dose.  Today I upped my dose to 1.2 mg and will stay here until next Wednesday when I up it again. I ate a few handfuls of cheerios for breakfast just to get something in my stomach but have not been hungry at all. I made myself some BBQ for lunch (just the meat, no bun) and was only able to eat about 3 bites before I felt full and threw the rest out.
I am excited to see what this next brings!!!!
Cheers!
