Hey everyone! I'm new to this and the Orlistat :]. Well I got my tablets 5/8/08 and I'm starting them tomorrow. I know all about the Orange oil coming out of your bandit, so I'm preparing myself for it! I'm a really big lass for my age and height lol so I hope I lose atleast a stone within a month. But, i highly doubt that will happen but there's nothing wrong with having a little faith, is there?! Anyway I hope everyone is well and I wish you all the luck of losing weight. :] x
P.S. Today I got diagnosed IBS today so will these tablets have any worse effect?
Thank you !
Hey Welcome 
Im new too.I started mines on Saturday.I've never really lost weight expect from a couple of pounds,lol.I've alot to lose :shock:
Had my first (experience) of the orange oil :evil: , it wasn't too bad,lol.Think it's worse if you eat alot of fat.
My doc said i should expect to lose about 2 pound a week if i stick to the pills and diet etc.Everyones different tho,Some folk have lost loads (lucky them) :D
Hope you can lose a stone hope i can too,haha.
I dont know anything about the IBS sorry, 
.
Just wanted to wish you the best of luck :D
Hi and welcome...
Unless u know which foodstuffs make ur IBS kick off....its going to be trial and error I think.
Stick to low fat (mibbe even some of that will start of IBS). If I were u I`d keep a note of what foods have an undesired effect. Unfortunately u might not know that til it happens.... :lol:
Good Luck
Hey BigGirlie,
I too suffer with IBS. When I first started on pills had some bloatedness and a bit of gall bladder pain but it soon settled and really have been OK. Skye's right. Best to keep a food diary at first to find out your personal triggers, as everyone is different. Don't be scared love, pop the pills and if they don't suit maybe you can try something else there's always different types on the market.
Good Luck and keep us up to date.
TTFN Kal :wink:
