Thread: New Starter on the Xenical way of life...

Just wanted to say i love your avatar its so cute and good luck and welcome

thought I'd just add an update... know it's only day 2 but to keep me on the straight and narrow so to speak lol...

well I've been feeling awful, but nothing to do with the change in eating habits I don't think (well I hope not anyways)... I've got tonsilitis and also had to increase some of my other meds which kinda knock me for six so had awful headaches and nauseau but still, battling on...

Feeling quite proud actually as realised this is an excuse I'd use to eat badly - my head hurts or I'm so ill that I 'deserve' that chocolate bar or toast with butter and jam... and I'm so pleased that I've managed nearly a full week now of complete healthy eating with no slip ups whatsoever... still struggling with breakfast but even just a smoothy is something in the right direction I guess...

Had no adverse effects from the Xenical at all... hesitant yippee lol!

I keep coming on here to browse and can't tell you how inspiring everyone else's stories, experiences and weight losses are...!

hey!

well done on almost compleating a week! I dunno if this will help but i had awul head aches for about a week and a half when i started xenical! I couldnt sleep and felt really rough! I think i was experiencing this cos my body wanted the sugar, fat bread etc i was usually feeding it! I know a few others have gone through the same too!

If yur feelin a bit ikky about having breakfast would having some thing dry help you? Even if u have a piece of fruit your still starting your matabolism up so i dont really think it matter what u have or the quantity! Like you said its a great achievment you are eating so early at all so well done!

hope you feel a little better soon!

Love katie

ps my little girl loves tinkerbell! We r going to see disney princesses on ice on thursday and shes a special guest there! Shes dead excited!

wow congrats on almost completing a week.. i know when i first started, i was realllly scared about what was going to happen, and what if i read the label wrong (stil do this lol)
but you will be fine...
maybe get your hands on some of the slim fast shakes if you think you could manage them for brekkie, if not have some fruit or something like that.....

I normally just a bowl of cereal for my brekkie and a cup of tea

at the minute I'm having shredded wheat cause most of the rest seem to have ridiculous amounts of sugar.
I couldn't go without something to eat in the morning but not a lot. I don't know how people do full english breakfasts!
