Hi ive been on orlistat for 3 weeks and havn't noticed a difference at all! i havnt weighed myself because i didnt want to become obsessed! I was going to wait until i went back to the doctors after a month of using it, but my doctors are closed now due to the coronavirus! My clothes still feel the same, an i still look the same! What should i do?

    Hi Angela. It has only been 3 weeks. i wouldnt start worrying yet. Have you noticed any side effects? Oily stools? Flatulence? Need to go to toilet urgently? Are you eating enough fat in your diet to make you have these side effects? Are you exercising? I have an app called My Fitness Pal and i log everything i eat in this. It shows how much fat, carbs, protein etc you are consuming each day. I have lost 20 kgs using Xenical. Am having a 3 month break then i will start taking it again. why not download the app above and track what you eat and also what exercise you do. It works quick in some people and slow in others. Keep at it and monitor
