Hi tex ,if you only have been on Byetta 3 weeks you are prob still on
the 5 dose .For me I started losing after I was placed on Byetta 10
then it worked .But I’m not hungry .I forget it’s time to eat .Only 1
day was I starved that i had trouble controling food . So hang in there
the 10 is stronger .It also made me sick to after taking the 10 so I
didn’t feel like eating . Now I ware sea bands to keep me from getting
sick to my stomache. Good Luck and don’t give up ok.

There is a sit and be fit video out there maybe that would help. I know my son
has a hip problem and we do stretching…
I would journal everything I eat. It really helps. Watch portion sizes also
very important. Be sure to get your veggies, dairy and fruit in if at all
possible. I wish you luck.

Silverhalo,

Yes, I am having the same weight loss pattern as you. I started in
Mid-December. Dropped 30 pounds in 3 months, but have flat-lined for the last
month or so….up a few pounds, down a few pounds. I have another 30 pounds to
lose to get to my minimum target weight.

I think it is normal weight loss patterns. That is, weight loss does not go in
a straight down line. It is jagged, like a staircase or a pyramid….down a
little, flat a little, down a little, flat a little, etc. Sometimes the flat
times can be weeks or months as the body adjusts to the changes.

I just try to stay within my calorie program, do regular exercise, and I know I
will start seeing more weight loss eventually.

It can be frustrating, but don’t give up. Remind yourself how far you have come
and pat yourself whereever you might like to be patted ( but no food rewards).

Hi I started on byetta in nov last year at Thanks Giving.

I started in June of last year and did not start losing weight until I started
WW in Jan. I am down 30 lbs also. I have always exercised but the eating was a
problem even with Byetta. I would suggest that you walk at least 20 min a day
and keep a journal to see if your overeating or maybe eating to many carbs. I
have 20 left to go, last week I lost 2.6 and so far this week I am down another
1 lbs…. Remember slow is good, more apt to keep it off.
