Hi guys my Gp put me on orlistat today I'm a bit wary and sceptical as to whether of not it will work. All advice grateful accepted x
Michelle, it's scary I know I am in the same boat as I started 5 days ago. Still to it & do as it says & you will be fine. Give it a go and see how you get on x
It will absolutely work if you give it a helping hand. Keep your fat intake to 15g per meal maximum. This will help you lose weight at a sensible speed and will also help avoid the yucky side effects that Orlistat is famous for. Good luck!
Hi Michelle,
I'm going to my doctor this evening to be prescribed these.
Quick question... were you already on a low fat diet before you started?
I'm worried that if I take them before starting a low fat diet, I'll get all the horrible side effects for a few days which would be really embarrassing at work!
Good luck with your weight loss!
If I were you I would start your low fat diet right away but wait a day or two before taking the Orlistat. You should be fine.
I lost 7 stone on these and just started again on them after having a baby and putting some back on, they do work, good luck! X
