Orlistat and pcos

Hi cody6,

I don't mean to be rude but what is pcos? There are alot of helpful people on this site. I am sure someone can help. Keep us informed as to how you're gettin on.

TTFN Kal :wink:

Hi sorry I should have eplained pcos...it is polycystic ovary syndrome.

Hi Thanks for explaining. Ouch!! My step-sister has suffered with this and has had a rough time. Poor you :cry:. I'm so sorry I don't know much about it but can help support each other with weight loss if u like :?:

Let me know :wink:

Thanks, I don't know much about it yet but do know that at least I am overweight it is not all my fault!! I have been trying so hard to lose weight only to put it on so hopefully these tablets will help kick start the process. I am on day 3 now and keeping to a low fat diet, don't feel too bad although I had a terrible headache last night! I don't have to go back to my doctor until I finish a month of orlistat so I will do weigh ins myself each. First one will be next wed so fingers crossed.

Are the tablets working for you?

Hi again,

Am on day 6 now. So far hav had gall stone pain 4 first 2 days but that's subsisded. Then headache day 3 but i think that was not drinking enough cos of fat in milk i didn't hav so much tea & forgot to replace it with water!! Just took paracetemol and pint of water that did trick! [b:76743016cb]Hav u had any orange oil yet?[/b:76743016cb] :twisted: I was given a homemade pie from Mother in law very tasty but full of fat! Hav had orange oil 4 3 days. Luckily i only ate 1/4 of pie so didn't hav accident :!: :oops: I don't know if you're supposed 2 hav orange oily poo all the time or only if u eat too much fat, must do another post and ask the others who've been on it longer, u know, THE VETERANS :lol: I made mistake of breaking my once a week rule and weighed myself on Wed, had put on 0.2kg I was GUTTED :x :? Although I hadn't taken any water tabs as had been going out. Serves me right for sneakin a peek :!: Good luck with ur weigh in let me know how it goes! :wink:

Hi

I've just been to my doc due to weight increase for PCOS symptom and advised to take either sibutramine or orislat. Anyone had any expericen with the sibutramine as I havent found any postings on that. I dont like the sound of the oily poo or the wind but if it works I'll give anything a try. I'm due back at the docs next week to discuss further so any input/advice would be great :D

hey Nicky,

I too have just been diagnosed with PCOS, and I have been on the tabs for 9days.

I would suggest you give it a try. the O/oil poo is strange should you over do it on the fat intake in a day or if you don't evenly distribute the fat intake over the 3 meals per day.

My feeling was I would give anyting a try shold it help me shift this ring around my waist!!

Go for it, you have nothing to lose but weight and orange oil!! lol
