Hi Guys,

I have just picked up my xenical prescription and was going to start today but wo served whether I should wait and start on Monday as I have to go out for afternoon Tea on Sunday for my mum's birthday which will probably take me over the fat allowance. I have already started eating healthily so all my other meals would be ok apart from that one. Should I wait and start on Monday or just bite the bullet and start today? Any advice greatly appreciated X

    I would say start your tablets now but skip the one that you would take with your afternoon tea. As long as skipping a tablet is occasional you should be fine.

    Good luck and enjoy your afternoon tea x
