Been on orlisat for about 5 month post 3 stone but past 3 months have noticed itching all over my body, no rash or eruptions,then got to thinking it might be the orlisat ? Anyone have any idea ? X

      Please don't be,it really did take me a while,I was like yourself got to my 4th week and thought there's no point to this, but my friend had lost 7 stone on them (and of course a balanced diet) and she wouldn't let give up,I stopped weighing myself constantly and obsessing about it,I cut my food portions down, I bought a portion plate off eBay,I eat loads of veg and loads of meat and fish very small amount of carbs, ( lean meats ) on my 7th week I'd lost a stone,I weigh myself every month now and I'm still losing,keep going Cheryl,give your body time to adjust to the orlisat xxx
