Orlistat Newbeee
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi ladies,
Maybe I should start with a little background so here goes;
After trying a baby for 2 years with no luck me and the other half went and had some tests, during these tests aftetr almost 3years of trying we got told my husband was the problem - a low count which was also lazy. The day before yet another test I was rushed to hospital with heavy bleeding and excruciating pain - I was having an ectopic pregnancy and didn't know I was even pregnant.
At this time I was aprox 11stn a little over weight but happy ,if I wanted to lose weight I could do so quite quickly.
I didn't need an op and was told to not try for a baby for 6 months to let my body get back to normal.
We went back and within 6 months id put about a stone on - 3 years on from this I am now nearly 16stone and desperate to get on the IVF list. To do this i have to get to 12 stone and im struggling.
My dr has now put me on Orlistat aand antidepressants but has given me no info at all on the orlistat - other than the side effects.
Any help tips and information anyone could give me id be soo grateful.
Looking forward to any reply xxx

if you eat the right things you will get NO side effects believe me they are not pleasant! there is a list of what Not to eat on my blog plus posted on here.
Sorry i've been up since silly o clock what do you mean by headache tablet sorry if i am sounding like a moron!
I will advise you to drink water aswell as it helps with bloat and constipation.
In the first couple of weeks you may get nausea and some stomach pains but this is all normal i think i got headaches too but it all settles down.
What have you been eating in the last few days including today?
If you need any help please just post back

It takes about 3 days to get into your system you food looks great and if you have been eating like that the last few days you wont get any side effects which is GOOD. If you see nothing then your doing everything right.
You can have 'treats' but they have to be the 5g oer 100g rule there are cakes etc you can have so don't feel your going to be deprived because you wont. I didn't allow myself any for months but now i do sometimes have them.
Tthere is a lot more you can actually eat than you think. Its not all leaves and cottage cheese!
Make sure your bread is the ones without the seeds as the tablets do not understand good and bad fats!
