Hi. I started on Victoza july 17. I have type 2 diabetes and have osteo arthritis, also had to have a decompression op to release trapped nerves in my spine. Just getting old lol.
I was 19st 4 lb when i started victoza, i now weigh 15st 2 lb woopie. My question is will the weight stop coming of hmmmm. also i eat like a little girl sometimes only 1 meal a day usually breakfast. But i decided to get some complan and whizz it up with fruit this makes me feel full and gives me energy.

I have found victoza works on a monthly cycle- no appetite for about 8 days/feel like something is caught in my throat or
abdomen/ then i feel hungry but eat little/then constipation/ but i have now come to terms with this and some other lesser side effects, can be frustrating sometimes but nice to get into my old good clothes again. i just wanted to hear if this is the norm.
 
Hi MikM, welcome to the forum 🙂 I don't have personal experience of Victoza, but I know from members posting here in the past that it can help with appetite suppression and weight loss. Have you discussed the effects with your nurse or doctor to see what they say? How is your blood sugar control now? How long have you been using the Victoza, and were you on any medication before?
