Hi all
I was given these pills a few weeks ago and i have been to scared to try them, my weight is really starting to get me down so I am going to take my 1st one today.
I have herd \"horror\" stories about taking these pills so i am quite worried as I work in london and have a 2 hour commute each way with no toliet access
I am very serious and I am starting a low fat diet today so hopeing that if i stick to the guidelines i will be ok
Any advice or ways to deal with side effects or diets in genural please reply
Thanks for reading

Hi Marie and welcome to the Forum. It may be worth your while to start a low fat diet a couple of days before you take your first tablet. As long as you keep within the fat limits you shouldn't have any problems apart from being a bit windy. Make sure you drink at least 2 litres of water a day or you might become constipated. Taking a multi-vitamin is also a good idea and green tea is good too. If you have any problems there are plenty of people on this forum who can answer most things. Good Luck :D
Thanks petel I am going to have a few days in low fat 1st as you sugested I drink alot of green tea and peppermint tea so I am covered there. thanks for the advice

Hi, as long as you stick to a maximum of 30g of fat a day and no more than 15g in one meal you'll be fine. I have quite a long journey to work and was a little concerned but have had no problems at all.
Whilst not wanting to encourage anyone to not take the tablets before they've started the useful advice I've been given on here is if yhou are going to be in a situation where you can't avoid eating more than leave the tablet off the meal before and for that meal.
I'm sure you'll be just fine....take the plunge
