Orlistat with Codiene

Hi,

I have been on Orlistat now for 2 days and codiene for the last year.

Codiene makes me terribly constipated and I only go to the toilet once a week when I have to take a laxative to make me go.

Since being on orlistat I have not been to the toilet once and I'm wondering it it will actually work when I'm on a pain killer like this?

I have tested the bounds slightly over the last couple of days as to go to the toilet would be a blessing lol

Any advice would be a great help

I am currently 33, weigh 14 stone and on slimming world diet.

When I read how well they have worked for people I wonder what weight they start at as we all know the bigger you are the quicker it comes off?

Thanks kellie

    Well I weighed in, I put on 2 1/2 pound but that's not as bad as it could have been.

    Today is the new start, tablets kicked in yesterday so fingers crossed we see some results next week. X
