Hi Guys,
Am now two days into the pills and have experienced nothing. I know two days is not long but from what i've read, the first few days on them 'flushes' your body out as they are kicking in. I've had absolutely nothing. Is this normal?
Also am taking the pill just before i eat, is this correct.
Thanks
Hello there,
I've been on them since Tuesday. I had nothing until I ate chocolate, so I would say its ok. It's weird trying to get your head around it, isn't it?
i take mine the mouthful before my food too.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I have been on Orlistat for nearly four weeks now and so far, thankfully, no side effects at all apart from being a bit bunged up. I gather the side effects really only happen if you have too much fat in a meal, so if you keep to a low fat diet then you should be fine.
Personally, because I'm on a very low (or no) fat diet, the tablets aren't working for me and any weight I've lost is probably due to me just not eating the 'naughty' things before that I've now cut out completely.
Some people have had fantastic results on Orlistat so I do hope it works for you but it doesn't work for everybody. Try to get as much exercise in as you can as that will help enormously.
Good luck and keep going!
Hi both,
thanks for the comments, i sneakily weighed myself the minute i got up (even though i'm only 2 days into this) and i've actually lost 2.5 lbs in 2 days so guess i'm doing the right things.
Onwards and upwards from here!!!
