Hi Everyone
Ive been using orlistat for two weeks now, have had a very strict diet even over the xmas period!!! Im suffering from constipation and have missed a period, ive also managed to put on a stone ??? Can any one help me? :cry:
is it possible you may be pregnant?
also are you using the Orlistat with your GP or on your own? in either case I personally would go to the GP and get checked out
sorry to be cheeky but have u really been on a stricked healthy diet there must be sumthing seriously wrong if u have put on a stone in 2 weeks. be truthful to urself it is xmas every1 over eats. :?
buy some senakot and take before u go to bed to help relieve the constipation
when u say u have been on a strict diet does it match the orlistat fat intake requirements - max of 30g fat a day with no more than 15g in any one meal?
it can have an effect on periods, is there any other reason why u may not have had it yet, are you always regular?
also to have effective weight loss an increase in exercise is highly recommended be it walking more or doing some cardio workouts
hope you get to the bottom of your confusion
