On April 4 I started new medication. It's called victoza. On April 5th I had a rotten awful day. It was horrible. I had taken too much. The medication must be eased into. Otherwise it causes rotten awful nausea. So I backed off and have been working my way up. It's working really well.
One of the side effects is that it helps you to feel fuller sooner, or a lack of appetite. I've really noticed this. Since taking the new meds here are the new stats--Parenthesis are last week; brackets are from the start.:
166 lbs (170.2) [175]
BMI 30.4 (31.1)[32]
Chest Measurement- 38(41) [42]
Waist Measurement- 33.5(34) [36]
Hips: 39.5(41) [41.5]
Neck: 14(14.25) [14]
Arm: 13(14) [13.5]
Thigh:24 (24.25) [25.5]
Not bad, I say. I take the medication in the evening so it will be "strongest" when I want to do those late night snackings. It seems to help with that.
