Hello to whoever reads this,

I'm new to Orlistat and am due to take my first dose in the morning. What kind of diet food do you eat? I'm quite a fussy eater so it would really help to see what you all eat. 

Also what kind of results have you seen and how were the first few days? I'm terrified about the side effects.

Thank you to anyone who replys

    Hi I am new to Orlistat and I am so glad I have found others that can help and guide as like Sophie said my dr didnt explain alot just read the leaflet. I would also be interested in Britneys blog as she is the same size as me and would love some ideas. Thanks again for any future help xxx

      I know thinking back I was so upset with what my weight was I feel like the Dr I'd never seen before kind of fobbed me off a little. I didn't even get a leaflet explaining so I'm just going off the generous advice from people of here.

      Good luck in your weightloss journey x

      Not all slimming world is suitable as salmon , cheese and certain things are way over your 5g of fat per 100g. Just watch the fat content. smile

    Could Brittany send me the link to her blog too pls. So as long as there is no more then 15gs of fat in my whole meal then it will be fine. I too am brand new to this so need all the help I can get lol. I am currently doing a vlcd and am being supplied my food. Will this still be ok to do the 2 together. I did inform my doctor of this when she prescribed it to me but just wanted to check. Thank u xx

    Hi Soph,

    I started a week ago and weighed myself today, i have lost 6lbs in the first week and i'm cuffed with that. Only another 4 1/2 to go, I had a few side effects on day three but nothing that caused any embarresment just not very nice going to the loo! Since then i have suck to the principles of slimming world and always check the labels to ensure anything you have is 5gs or under of fat to 100gs. Eat pleanty of veg and fruit to fill u up and remember to drink plenty of water.

    This forum is great but there's also a facebook page thats great, its a closed group called weight loss with Orlistat. Everyone is very supportive x
