I have been on Orlistat for 5 days also. I experience, terrible headaches, swollen stomach, weight gained of 5 lbs in 5 days. Adding to the wind and constantly running to the toilet. In addition all my bedsheets are now oily orange. The only way I have overcome this was to reduce my intake to two a day instead of three. I have also increase my workout at the gym, and vegetable intake. I will keep you posted as the weeks goes on.

I do my best to stick to it, and have only been affected with the orange oil a couple of times.

I too have experience the same aprt from the gain. I have found the headaches ( i suffer from Mirgaines) are most likely due to dehydration, Up the fluid intake and remember if your meal does not contain fat there is no need to take a pill.
I have had a blinder migraine for 2 days now and my usual meds for it are not working. I think it coz I have not had enought water to replace the lost fluid down the toilet!!! :wink:
I hope this helps
Keep on trucking!

Coconut OIL.....Olive OIL... I`d hazard a guess and say this is why ur running to the loo.
Ud be surprised at the amount of fat that some HEALTHY foods contain.

Skye is right the tabs can't tell good fat from bad :? So even if you're eating GOOD fat it is still fat as far as the tabs are concerned and approx 1/3 of all the fat you eat you will pass through your system.
I feel heartly sorry for you as on a NORMAL diet what you're eating would be classed as pretty good :!:
So watch your TOTAL fat intake not just saturates and hopefully it will all settle down :wink:
