Starting Orlistat Help!

Treatment and medication
1

Hi all,

I was previously taking orlistat and lost about a stone in 3months, however I was not doing it properly and was eating a lot of fat and had the bad side effects!

I have recently visited my Dr to start taking these again but properly this time! Please can you share your experiences and let me know the best way to loose weight on these tablets! I really need to loose weight now, my dr has advised me I have around 9 stone to loose... Help!

Thanks all x

Hi

I started taking these 8 wks ago weighing 22st 10lbs and I now weigh 20st 10lb. They work if you stick to the 5g fat in 100g and 15g per meal. I dont calorie count, I only do a bit of walking-even though I have a 3yr old I run after all day, I drink LOTS of water and if I snack between meals its on fruit or veg.

I have a long way to go, prob 9 st like you but im determined to do it as I have PCOS and need help conceiving,  which I wont get at this size.

Dropped a dress size now - 24 from 26 so feeling happy.

Theres lots of support on here and britney spears is fab-she should have her own app! Lol

Good luck
