Hi all. Im due to start orlistat tomorrow and I have loads of questions that I hope some of you could help with.  I will apologise now if they habe been asked a hundred times. I will just lost them to make it easier.  Just as a bit of background I'm 34, 5ft 2" and just under 15stone. I suffer from fibromyalgia and cfs which is making exvercise hell. Ok,  my questions:

* how many calories do you stick to a day? 

* how are snacks counted? As in I know its max 15g fat per meal but does that mean 100% fat free snacks or does it depend if you have any fat left over from meals e.g you only eat 12g per meal?

*

What if your in a situation weber there are only food potions that are over the fat allowance do you just not take that tablet or will it still cause side affects?

* I'm confused with the no more than 5g per 100g. What if its 10g per 100g and you have the full 100g but the test of your meal is fast free?? 

*how does alcohol affect the tablets? 

* and how many of you have stuck to the rules but still had side affects? 

Thank you so much for reading and hope you can help smile x
