Hi
Have you lost anything in the first few days ?
I still have a bad headache but really hope they work
For me as really need to get back to my old self, lol, x
I started yesterday, so far so good but pretty scared to eat anything fatty! My doctor told me to only take 2 tablets a day, so trying to have a really low fat breakfast and take them with lunch and dinner.
Its good to see how others are getting on, good luck everyone!

How are you both getting on? I couldn't help myself and went on the scales this morning. .. 3lb off! Im really pleased as tits been 3 days and normally I wouldn't lose that in 3 weeks! Still not had any side effects so feeling really good 
Also I ordered the Alli plan book from Amazon as thought it might be useful. It turned up today and is full of recipies, and such a bargain at £1.84!!
Hi guys, sorry to intrude on your conversation, just a quick question.. i started on orlistat yesterday (24.05.13) my general day to day eating plan is :-
morning - piece of fruit & maybe a natural yogurt
dinner - tin on spaghetti or ravioli , is this bad or is it ok & should i take a pill for it? i also have some fruit again afterwards or a yogurt
& for tea i have a main tea with the family & obviously take a tablet.
if i'm going wrong, where am i going wrong? advice please.
& good luck to all you guys :D
