First day of orlistat

Posted , 33 users are following.

Hi it's my first day of orlistat and I am suffering a terrible headache, is this a possible side effect?

I am really looking forward to seeing how I get on with my weight loss

If anyone one has any snack or meal ideas I would really appreciate it and I would love to hear everyone's stories xxxxxx

    Well done. Just thought beware of wind. Always get to a loo before passing wind as twice I've been caught out like this and I have had a small accident. Also I find I don't get as much notice about needing the toilet and will often go twice within half an hour.

    Jo I have just had a very close shave in tesco lol managed to get to the loo, wasnt uncontrollable just an urgent need to go. I got weighed by my health trainer and I have lost 3kg since monday, so pretty chuffed with that!

    Could be, I had a head ache 1st day and that's all.

    I haven't been bad once, not even tempted as dont want an accident.

    I will find out later what I weigh, never be that amount tho!

    God you must be chuffed to bits.
