Kes

well today is my first day on Xenical!!!!

WOW...im so scared, but at the same time so excited!!!
i have really got no idea what the heck im doing!!!!! lol...

Ive still got a shed load of slim fast shakes to have so im going to do that along side this for now, as i dont like wasting money....
the shakes range from 5-6g of fat, so they are not that bad....
but we will see if the little blue pill thinks otherwise... if thats the case then i will def stop taking them...

Breakfast this morning i didnt get time to have breakfast, so no tab for me... lunch i had a chocolate slim fast shake. and a big glass of no added sugar squash.....

how long does it take for the pill to start working????

i dont know if my brain went into OMG, but ive had the worse uncomfortablness over night... but i think that is more scared, and worried than anything else.. lol....

might have lentil soup (made from lentils, (not sure what they are like...) and a load of veg eg: pots, sweet pots, celery, onion, carrots, and i think thats what it was.... not sure on the fat content...(as ive not worked that one out yet) but each serving has about 200 cals in it.. (from when i was doing slim fast, it was a good lunch for me to have with my hubby on the weekend....

if any one reading this has any experiences with any of these foods let me know.....
cheers

hiya Kes, i've not been on xenical for long so i'm still learning! I don't know how the shakes will affect the pill but you should be ok. the soup sounds fab - along as you don't add cream or butter. The only thing i've encountered that i wasn't expecting was a little uncomfortablness following a large piece of salmon - oily fish!!! i guess the tabs aren't really that intelligent to know the difference between good and bad fats so i've steered clear of fish, nuts and avocados!! welcome and good luck - this site is fab for venting, support and advice x

miss jelly tot

Hi Kes well done on your loss.
I cant take xenical with slim fast as they gave me awful stomach cramps. I think it was something to do with the amount of milk I was drinking. Everyone is different though so you may be fine
Good luck with your journey

oh thankyou all so much!...
still not any sign of anything horrible... so touch wood!!!
ive been so busy with the children i look after this morning, that ive kinda had my mind on other things, but as soon as i stop, im like. ohhh whats going to happen! lol.. hopefully this feeling will wear off!!!!

ive had a strawberry slim fast for breakfast, no snack, and am having a forrest fruits smoothie for lunch... and a big glass of squash....
i have a lot of trouble drink straight water. so im having no added sugar squash, fairly diluted but still tastes a lot better than water.. lol. the water here is horrid.

for dinner i think my hubby is going to do lemon chicken. (they are legs so he is going to take the skin off them (we didnt ahve any breasts in the freezer )) and then have salad with it....
hope its going to ok.... if not im sure i will find out about it LOL...
i feel fine today.. i was a bit yesterday. and didnt want to be anywhere but bed. but i got through it...
i think it might ahve been more to do with the fact that i failed doing it on my own... (i know i know) but i hope these pretty little blue pills work...
but im happier now that ive seen the scales go one lower than what ive been on for 2 weeks..... YAY... although im still not claiming it on my sig or ticker as its not weigh day....
i have to go to the docs every 2 weeks for a while until he is happy with how i am doing, so here is hoping for 5lb-8lb in the 2 weeks... does anyone think im setting my sights too high???

No! Aim for the sky!
Some people find they get a bit bunged up when first on the tabs, also headache seems common, but these do settle. Ive seen people get big losses the first couple weeks, but also some that are disappointed with their first week, but keep with it, there is plenty of proof around here that they work....you just have to commit to sticking with it for the long haul!

well....
still no sign of anything (thank goodness) but yeah i have kinda been too scared to do anything...
today ive had a vanilla slim fast shake for breakie, chocolate shake for lunch, and for dinner i have had a massive plate of stir fry, with a blue dragon sauce (garlic and hoisin sauce) and im stuffed... we didn even ahve a ww chocolate mousse for pud but i dont think ill have it as im just too full!! normally i would have it because i want it...

snack i had a satsuma, and a hand full of cheerios...
not really sure what i should/allowed to have for snacks. so if anyones got any top snacks let me know...

feeling ok today.. ive got a fair amount of energy tonight so im just tryng to make the most of it and get some housework done, and ironing, and also run around after my hubby (normally it would be the other way round because im either too tired or too lazy!!)

bring on monday where i can weigh in........
although i am kinda scared, as we are going down to some friends house and well ive kinda explained to her what i need to eat or what i cant eat... and bless they have been so supportive...

i also love food... but ive made this choice to loose weight so ive got to give somewhere! lol..
the chocolate premade shakes and also the banoffee ones are scrummy... so try those first... although i did find out over the weekend (after looking at the fat content) a pre made drink has about 5-6 g fat... but the powder that you make with skimmed milk is only about 3g fat.... couldnt believe it!!
