skipping a tablet, to enjoy a night out

Hi everyone, I'm new to Orlistat although have managed to lose 2.9 stone on my own since Jan. I wanted the tablets for a motivational boost. I'm wondering though, if I've taken a tablet with lunch and then enjoy a (slightly naughty) meal out without taking a tablet, will I still suffer from the side effects?

Thanks in advance x

    Hi, well done! It all depends really! Some people do, some don't. When I was planning a bad meal I would stop the tablets the day before, and not start until 2 days after just to be safe!

      Sounds sensible, especially as I've read that some people have a 2 day delay before things get "interesting"!
