And here it comes…the hot flush.
Sigh. I thought those days were over.
I went up another dose yesterday and I'm now taking 1.8mg. I don't feel as hungry as I was so that's a good thing. The Count came home with a big bar of chocolate yesterday, I had 2 peices and didn't want anymore.
Now, that's unheard of. I don't do anything in moderation.
Which is probably what got me here in the first place.
Anyhoo, it is having some effects, I think, I'm just not sure yet if its enough. I've got one more dose in my current pen and then I've still got four more pens to get through so I'm a long way from giving up and I'm still hopeful.
One pattern I have recognized is, for the first 2 or three days after I've gone up a dose, I'm dealing with hot flushed again.
Which would make sense, I guess, Saxenda works by producing, or imitating (I'm not sure which) the hormone that tells me if I'm full or hungry. And after a certain age, hormones give you hot flushes.
So, I can't say its not working. It's definitely doing something to me.
Oh, and I weighed in on Saturday and I'm exactly the same weight as last week. I've not gone down, but I've not gone up either.
Let's see what this week brings.
