Food Ideas on Orlistat

Hey guys,

I'm almost a week in taking Orlistat and I'm looking for food ideas.

BUT I'm a super fussy eater because I have an issue with some texture (like mushrooms, tomatoes, pineapple, peaches, you get my drift)

So far I've been eating all the wrong foods - because the side effects told me so. It's really embarassing, for the first 3 days I was too afraid to break wind because of the wonderful orange guest, and all day yesterday I was glued to the loo (beautiful, I know).

Here's what I've been eating so far but please tell me and advise me on how to do better:

Breakfast: 7am

Wheat crunches (from Asda) with 1% milk

1 cup of coffee, 2 sweeteners and a dash of 1% milk

Tablet

Lunch: 1pm

Less than 3% fat pasta in a mug

Bottle of water

Tablet

Dinner: 7-8pm (because I finish work late)

Chicken soup

Toasted brown bread

Bottle of water

Tablet

Snacks: throughout the day

Pink ladies apple

Banana

Plus roughly 3-4 cups of tea/coffee

So yeah, any ideas, advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Liz
