    Hi

    I can send you my blog which has helpful advice tips for newbies if you would like it?

    The tablets have worked very well for me, in a year i went from a size 24 to a 12 so they DO work you just have to eat right. Good luck and let me know if you would like the link.

    Hello and welcome to the forum Corrine :-)

    Britney has offered a link to her blog, there is everything you need to know in it, so you should be ok.  

    Touching base with the forum each day and reading posts helps too.

      Hi Michele and a big welcome to the forum :-)

      I can't understand for the life of me why the doctors dont give out any helpful information regarding what to eat on Orlistat!

      Thankfully Britneys blog has helped so many newbies and I am sure she will be online a little later to give you her link.

      Good luck with your new way of eating and be sure to check into the forum as much as possible, there will be plenty of hints and tips and you will soon see we are like a big family on here, all helping each other! cheesygrin

      Hi Daisy

      Thank you so much for your warm welcome, yes I was very disappointed with my gp for not giving me any advice or guidance on what I can and can't it it was pretty much try these and come back in a month.

      I'm so glad I've found this forum as was really worried to take them or not but now I know there are such lovely people out there to help me a long the way I think I will give these a go.

      Thanks again

      Michele x
