For those who have lost weight, is it because you feel nauseated that makes you not want to eat? or are you just not that hungry since taking byetta? and by the way, how much byetta do you take? I really need to and want to lose weight. I started walking 3 times a week for about an hour.
I have taken the advice from "a beautiful disaster" and "jessietex" regarding my post on how to inject myself with the least amount of pain possible. It has been helping me and I am not too afraid any more!!! thanks again ladies!!!
If anyone could share their experience reagarding weight lost, I would appreciated it!

I have to wonder if you've had no nausea and actually GAINED weight on Byetta, maybe you're not getting the medicine in afterall. Did you read the instructions that came with your pen thouroughly? Before you use your pen for the first time, you're supposed to follow the "Set Up Your Pen Instructions". Make sure you're doing it all the right way before you give up on Byetta. In the first month I took it I lost 15 lbs! I did have a lot of nausea. But you should feel almost overly full after you eat a meal right after your shot.
Good luck!
