First day of orlistat

When I poo'd oil I didn't take a tablet! They are still in your system.

I have extra light mayo everyday as its below 3g of fat. X

Ah perhaps should of risked it then and taken the tablet x

Know what you mean, I went on a family day out yesterday and ended up in an Italian resturant and had a

Lasagna! although I had been really good all day I opted out of taking a tablet just in case!! If any thing these

tablets is making me eat healthy as I am so scared of the side effects if I don't!! Lol 😁

Yeah see that's it , I had images of either sitting passing wind or pooing oil and not having spare knickers lol.

Have been a little but gutted though stepped on my mums scales. .

Weighed 11 13 1/2 on Wednesday at slimming world weighed 11 12 today on them .... Guess I was hoping for a wow moment x

I lost 5lb in my 1st wk. you gotta remember these tablet block the fat, if you've been good its just being on a low fat diet. I thort I'd only lost 1lb this wk on my scales, got to fat club and it was 4lb

Keep going you loose at different rates and it will come off. X

Thanks Hun xx

How do you cope when you go out for a meal or are invited to a friends for a takeaway? It worries me

Because I still want to live my life! I understand i won't be on the tablets forever but don't want to get fed up

and turn down time out with my friends. Any tips would be great??

Well I was good yesterday. Family wanted to go out so I suggested harvester knowing that I could have salad and also chicken jacket potatoes etc. I must admit I don't think it is always going to be that easy as my husband does a lot of socialising through work and we often are out. Guess I am just going to be very strict xx

Yes I'm sure I'm just going to have to be strong and remember why I am doing it!

Friend of mine has just suggested a Chinese takeaway in a few weeks! I have had to say no 😞

It will all be worth it in the end xx

Hi Donna, all my friends were having a take away so I made myself jasmine rice and did chicken and pineapple in a blue dragon sweet n sour sauce which is only 0.1g of fat and brought some Singapore noodles n stir fry veg and took my own take away!! Even if u don't have a pill if you ate take away it would go straight through you!!! Be strong, what so you want more a Chinese or size 10 jeans? That's what I think when I'm tempted.

I can eat chicken chow mien from my local Chinese takeaway with no side effects. X

Wow that does surprise me as even a sainsburys ready meal chicken chow mien is 21g of fat plus 600 calories and its a quarter the size of a take away portion!

I think ill give it a miss though lol.

Hi all well I had a BAD weekend ......too much wine :-(:-( a Chinese take away ,= a lot of loo trips .......never again ............ NO wine this week at all my downfall cus then I snack ) .......bought a flabelis machine ....any tips on using it as it came without instructions as bought off eBay .........!!!!!!!

Hi Karen, yeah I love wine and cheese and more wine lol. I'm too scared to eat anything bad as the tablets stay in your system 💩💩💩💩 lol.

I also have brought a wobble machine, my daughter said do it naked and ud never eat again lol (she's only 12) there's loads of exercises to do on it, I do swats which really does yr legs and bum,you can put your arms on it whilst on your knees on the floor to do your bingo wings!! If you stand on it legs far apart and lean to the side it does your muffin top!! I got a DVD with mine but if you look on u tube it shows you loads depending where you want to work out?

How long have you been on the tablets and what have you lost if you don't mind me asking?
