how long does it take for the effects to come through?
I had fish & chips on Friday but have been fine, also had some crisps, and this afternoon we are at a family buffet which will be difficult to conceal that I'm trying to eat healthily - not told anyone but my hubbie am on orlistat.
Still trying to find my way round what I should and shouldn't be eating. Can;t figure the % fat in meals, just trying to eat healthily and low fat at the moment.
|Have been on tablets for just over a week - been on period (sorry if tmi) so felt bloated from that. First weigh in on Friday ...
Hiya, I know the impAct can be straight away or upto 3 days, I think. I'm sure someone else with far more experience will be along. I'm on almost week 3.
I know for me, it's been straight away. So, lucky you eating fish and chips and you wasn't running to the loo 😉😉😉
Thanks for replying - an trying to get to grips with it ann and it doesn't help with big family reunion this week and weekend - hopefully give it my full attention from next weekend onwards
It's hard isn't when family are around or special functions. I haven't told anyone I'm on the tablets. Friends keep inviting me out and I just keep eating salad when I'm out as I don't want to embarrass myself.
I would be careful incase you overload totally and your stuck to the loo - have a nice day.
I only ever made the mistake of eating something I should not once, within 30 mins I was running to the toilet!
I am suprised you have eaten fish and chips and crisps! and think that you are eating healthy and low fat?
You can see the fat content on the side of 99.% of purchased foods and if you look at Britney's messages you will have plenty of hints and tips for the so called rules for Oristat.
