New to Orlistat
Posted , 2 users are following.
hey guys
im new to orlistat, dr put me on it two weeks ago, but gave me hardly any advice..his total input included 'if you eat anything 'bad' things will get very runny and messy'. iv been reading some of the posts here and one thing that surprised me is its harder if you have less weight to loose?
im 5ft 3 and 13 stone 3 lbs (on day of being put on the tablets). i started taking the tablets yesterday but had a week of being 'good'- didnt want to start yet as it was in the week running up to my birthday
not really sure on what im doing with the tablets..trying to get a hang of low fat etc..not a fan of WW meals as they tend to be rather bland and full of HUGE chunks of tomato - really really really dislike them haha >.<
has any one got any advice for meals?
my last two days have been like this
breakfast (took pill)
honey nut shreddies - 40g/125 ml ss milk = 4.7g
go ahead yogurt slice x 2 (1.8gx2)= 3.6g
Lunch (took pill)
2 slices wholemeal bread (0.6gx2)= 1.4g
flora lighter than light spread
ham (4 slices)= 1.8g
snack - 2 small apples
Dinner (took pill)
Weight Watchers Chicken & Lemon Risotto = 7.8g
Muller Fruit Corner Cherry = 3.9g
Small apple
2 go ahead cherry slices = 2g
I know that only comes up to roughly 26.9g fat, but can any improvements be made?

the WW meals you are looking at TOTAL fat as this is what these tablets work on ?
apples maybe split them up and eat after main meal as it helps to break up fat and not so many as they contain natural sugars
also tree green tea flavoured one's are nicer than the normal.
make sure you are not eating after 18.30.
what ham are you getting at that fat content?
are you drinking water ?

the ham i worked out by looking at portion sizes (5g) im not even eating a quarter of the portion size thats for so i worked out roughly its about 1.8g..might out by a little but not much
dont like green tea much, and water im drinking 5 bottles of 500ml a day :p
aside from that im having no side effects, possibly a little more wind at a stretch but nothing notable =/ so are the pills atcually working? i know im not eating over 30g a day as im being careful average iis 25-28g a day so im eating enough fat

it seems like a lot of drs dont give proper advice about something that can be rather life changing >.< i know mine didnt give me all that much advice, he hasnt even put me in to see the nurse or anything..i went to the dr to get contraception and came out on these pill hahah >.<
been trying to loose weight for over 2 years,most iv budged is 10lbs which i ended up putting back on again, its only now that im almost completely cutting out bad stuff..
just waiting to see the results, been on them 4 days now, nothing notable, aside from the wind its like im not on anything :P
fingers crossed :D
