Hi everyone

I have just started Orlistat yesterday and I must say I feel rotten. I am bloated, windy and can't go to the toilet. Can anyone give me any ideas?

I no its early days for me and I am sure a lot more of you out there but can I just ask can you give me as much encouragement as possible and I will encourage everyone else.

Good luck everyone.

    Hi Audrey

    I haven`t had any problems....cept for the wind.

    As unhappy says try drinking plenty of water and see if things settle down.

    Hey Audrey,

    For the first few days I experienced bloating, gall stone pain, headaches(not drinking enough water!) AND constipation sad BUT it all settled down @ day 4-5 so don't get disheartened just yet, ride it out and it will be worth it when you start shedding those pounds :!:

    TTFN Kal :wink:
