Orlistat Newbie.....
Posted , 4 users are following.
So went to my GP on Friday who gave me a prescription for Orlistat. I thought I'd do a little bit of research before I started taking them in relation to
diet etc... So I've a few questions to ask!! What length supply does your gp give you before they want to see you again (my 1st supply is 1 month)? Does the majority of you follow a WW/SW style diet? In between seeing your GP do you self weigh? And what about holidays? We generally eat in but in a 1 week hol we may eat out once, do you stop taking the tablets? Also the effects of alcohol? Thanks guys!!

Yes you can drink apart from Baileys type drinks. Followed my own low fat diet. I only ever got 4 weeks supply at a time which was annoying seeing as i paid for them i know that some people get 3 months supply at a time. Never weighed myself would have drove myself insane if i did so just every 4 weeks at the Drs.Never ate out on them. I hve sent you my blog so if you search for the advice/tips part you will be clued up about them.
How much do you have to lose?
Good Luck

Fill up with extra fruit and veg and water. The 4 stone will come off in no time if you stick to it.
Also the 5% is to come off you within 12 weeks so don't worry about getting it off in 4 weeks however i lost more than the 5% on my first weight in others do aswell and some don't but everyone is different. Don't worry about excercise for now just get your food sorted and you will be fine and let me know how you get on and good luck

My gp told me it was 5% and that's why they only prescribe each month to make sure it's working. The controls of it are quite tight here. When I reached 12 st they wouldn't give me it any more as they said I was fine for my age. I have started it again as my weight was creeping up due to hip and leg pain reducing my mobility. Exercise is a key part of weight loss. Just walking is enough to incorporate into your life to make a big difference. Drinking water is the biggest help. So often our bodies are thirsty and not hungry as we think. I don't do ready meals anymore and prepare everything from fresh which means you see exactly what you're eating and the small plate thing really works. All the best.
