Evening everyone!
I posted last week about going to the docs, and I was prescribed Orlistat and referred to a weight management programme! :D Someone finally helped me without playing the depression card!
Only question is...I have been taking the \"blueys\" (i love that nickname!!) since Friday...and i dont feel any different :? Is that normal? I haven't had the urge to go to the loo, although i feel as though i have a bit more wind than normal (too much info... i know!) but not even the dreaded orange oil (that's what i was most worried about about).
Did anyone find that they took a while to kick in? I have just ate a homemade jalfrezi and a cookie and took my tablet to test them! I'll probably get a shock in about an hour or something lol.
Also, does anyone know where i would be able to find a sample food dairy or menu that would give me an idea of what to eat?
Sorry for the novel..... :oops:
Hey Lovehandles,
Welcome to our train to Shrinksville :!:
You can eat whatever you like as long as you keep it to @ 15g TOTAL fat per meal (that includes saturates!) and your calories @ 1500 a day :!:
Drink plenty of water and try to increase your exercise if you can. You can also contact the Xenical MAP tel helpline on 0800 7317138 and they will send you some info. I wouldn't bother with the website, it wasn't working last time I tried!!! :x
Hope this helps.
CHOO! CHOO!
