Hello all
i have been trying to stay positive with orlistat, it took me ages to pluck uo the courage to go to docs and talk about my weight.
Doc said yep go on these tablets and you will see the differenec, however even the doc says they dont see no difference!!!!
i am so fed up with people talking to my belly and telling me that i am not a heffer am in proportion OFFS
seriously i have had enough but whatelse is there i can do?? i genuinely thought i was changing shape n size but lady doc says she does not see it but keep going for another month.
i am full of the poor me's but i realy dont know what to do
Hi, dont give up!! i thought after the 1st day they not working! you probably need to give them time?each one of us if different and will effect us in different ways.i didnt notice anything until 3rd day. but maybe you eating less than 15g fat?ive only just heard about this and im confused about the fat thing, cos they say dont take if no fat in the food?!im on weight watchers and doing this at the the same time, and most of my foods are either low fat or fat free.but if they say dont take with no fat,but how will this work on a low fat diet?but keep going for another month and see . good luck and let me know how u get on? take care heidi
HI
I have to agree with heidi, don't give up. It took you a lot of courage to talk to the doctor in the first place so you must carry on. Did the doctor give you any help with meal planning? Have you contacted MAP? I know we all lose differing amounts, so you may lose more next month. MAP tell you to measure your waist once a month so this may help you feel better about things if you are losing inches raqther than pounds.
Come back and chat when you are feeling low. We are all in the same boat, trying to lose weight, and understand how difficult it can be at times.
Hope today is a good day for you, :D
Thanks for your kind words, i am going to continue for another month and see what happens but i am scared IF i go back to doctor they will just dismiss me. like what else is there avaiable, i thought i was loosing but after the docs last reaction i am kinda reluctant to go back at all.
i think i am lacking in confidence too, but there are days when i feel good and i think i dont look as big and then you stop to chat to people and they have a conversation with your belly! i am very consious o fmy weight like us all.
again i am going to try n stay positive here, and thanks again for your supportive and kind words.
i'll be back intouch
