I thought i would do this as when i came online to research xenical i found it hard to find any info from people that had done it.
I think by writing this it may help others who are maybe thinking about taking it and also help me out.
I started xenical on 14th April 2009 weighing 20st 7lb, my heaviest. I have 2 young children 3yrs and 1yr so i really wanna make the most of them and i am now feeling the strain of being overweight not only on my physical health but my mental health too.
Day 1 of taking them i was feeling worried and anxious but i knew i had to do it, still wasnt sure what to eat but after speaking to people on here i discovered that by looking at labels i would learn alot.
I am only eating foods that have 5grams of fat or less per 100grams and not having any more than 15grams of fat for each meal.
I was pleased that i got through the first day with no nasty side effects as i had read so many horror stories.
(TMI BIT) - I have always done my number 2! in the mornings even before xenical so on day 2 i went as normal and everything seemed completly normal but i noticed there was alot of orange in it, so i thought it must be doing its job and in a weird way i felt good about it!
I am now on day 5 and have still not had any bad experiences, each morning i go i see the oil and fat in the toilet and it feels good to no its not in me!
I am having monthly weigh in sections at the doctors so wont be able to report on weight loss for a while yet but i am hoping by writing this i can help others aswell as myself.
I am already feeling really great and postive, today my husband and kids and a mcdonalds for lunch, i too had one but i chose the chicken salad baguette with no mayo or cheese in a brown roll, it was lovely and as i had taken my tablet i was not tempted to eat the kids left over chips or buger!! how good did that feel!!
I am not even snacking between meals as for some reason i dont feel the need to i am wondering if this is because i am now eating healthier meals that are filling me for longer?
I have this evening made myself a lovely chicken kebab for dinner! as its Saturday night i didnt wanna miss out on a takeaway so i made it myself! Really nice and so much healthier!!
I have also discovered there are a few WW frozen desserts that i can treat myself too and i have had one the last few nights after dinner which was lovely! Tonight i had one of those mullerlight yoghurts it was the vanilla flavour with chocolate srpinkles so really nice to taste some chocolate! i also dipped fresh strawberrys in it.
