I haven’t lost any weight yet

I have been using since July 1 and I have not lost any weight yet.
What are you all eating?

    Gary,

    I had nausea the first day only and no I don’t have the extended "full"
    feeling reducing appetite. I am consciously eating less and slower, the
    first few days I had acid reflux because my digestive system slowed way
    down. Now I now how to play the game, just eat less and slow. At least
    that is what is working for me.

    Now I know I can eat right after taking the injection, so I will really be
    doing so much better.

    BTW

    I like your email name

    Millie –
    Not everybody loses weight on Byetta. Do you have the extended "full"
    feeling reducing appetite? Do you have the nausea? I never had nausea,
    and only lost a few pounds from the full feeling. Then in April,
    after 8 months on the spit, the constant full feeling suddenly
    disappeared and I was famished. My appetite has dropped a little
    since then, but I suspect the pleasant full feeling is gone for good.
    I called the manufacturer about it, and they said Byetta isn’t for
    weight loss (i.e. they have no explanation for the change in the nasty
    side effect of losing weight).

    So you are not alone. In weight loss with Byetta it is truly "Your
    Mileage May Vary."

    I have been on it since May 18. I have lost a few pounds. My diet
    centers around low carb, low fat and high fiber… seems to be working
    for me…

    Millie, It is different for different folks. I try to concentrate on protein

    and eat fewer and fewer carbs. I think portion control makes a difference.
    Has
    there been any size reduction in clothes? I find I am not hungry as much and

    that is what has helped me the most. But sometimes I have gone for 3- 4
    weeks
    with little or no loss. Hang in, it will come without a doubt. John Dodson
