Hello everyone
Have enjoyed reading all the posts and am now on week 3 of orlistat, since taking them i have had mild headaches which worsen when i excersise, My weight seems to be going up and down despite me staying on a lofat diet mainly weightwatcher meals with plenty of fruit and veggies alongside,i lost 4 llb in the first week and put 2 back on in the second :roll: .Is this normal ? oh and should i be taking a multivitamin suppliment while on orlistat? Any input appreciated thanx

hello alicat, i have had headaches but i have increased the fluid in take and it seems to be ok this week ive been on them 3 weeks and i will be wieghed next monday. i have kept to a low fat diet and eatten plenty fruit salads and snacka jacks if i fancy something sweet. once you get over the polystyrene texture they are ok. i am sure if you stick to 3 meals no snacking your wieght should come down , from reading other peoples experiences this tablet does work! good luck and stick with it .
Hello Loridawn
Thanx for the tip on taking more fluids-i will give it a try and letcha know
Im keeping to 3 meals a day and eating fruit in between if i get hungry, ive put on weight since i had a stomach op 4 years ago where surgeons ended up stiching my stomach to the wall of my abdomen leaving me with a stomach that wont shrink and remains 3 times its normal size, Im constantly hungry but need to lose weight so the battle goes on.
Thanx for your reply Alicat
Hi alicat,
I too have had quite bad headaches lately so you're not alone.....keep it up and I'm sure that you'll see the results soon.
