Hi all,

I've been prescribed Orlistat by my GP and reluctantly started them today - despite having what I think is already a good diet.

I wanted to test the boundaries by having a naughty hour, 🙈🤷‍♀️ so I ate some chocolate and drank 3 glasses of wine. From reading the reviews I was expecting an explosion, but 2 hours later I still feel nothing. I have chronic constipation and I know I sound mental but I was rather looking forward to the side effects! how long does it normally take for any side effects to take effect? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Change doesnt happen straight away, concerning the body, it happens over time. Be healthy and eat healthy and your body will thank you when you grow older.
