Hi all, Some of you may remember me posting last week about some concerns over possible side effects of LT (throat swelling after drinking my shakes, difficulty swallowing). On day 6 it got to the stage where I developed an awful rash all over my face, neck and chest, and couldn't even get my...

Hmm, never thought about a throat infection- I've never had one before so that could be a possibility. I'm not allergic to nuts, or indeed to any food I don't think. Thanks everyone for the advice- I did experience the same thing again after my last shake; who knows what's going on? I'm less...

Thanks Kels, I've been drinking through a straw today anyway, as I thought it might help. I'm pleased it sounds like nothing to worry about, other than being a pain in the bum. I'll keep an eye on it though, and check it out if it persists. Nicky

Ah, cross posted there. I'm struggling to find any threads mentioning this- do they say how long it might last? Nicky

Thanks for the responses so far. I'm hoping this is nothing out of the ordinary, but I'm considering giving NHS Direct a call. The only thing is I'm worried they might tell me to stop drinking the shakes, and I really don't want to do that! I'm going to make my 3rd shake and see how I get on...

Kind of, more like its steadily closing up. I mentioned it to a work colleague after my breakfast shake, and she said it looks as though my throat/ neck was swollen- I'm not sure though. It went down after a few hours, but within 5-10 minutes of finishing my lunchtime shake it was back again...

Hi all, I'm after a bit of advice please. I'm now on day 6 of the diet, and I'm noticing something odd. After I have my shakes, my throat feels like its starting to swell, and I'm finding it really difficult to swallow. I first noticed this on day 3, but kind of put it to the back of my mind...

Wow, that's great Doirin, and your losses overall are just fab! A real inspiration to those of us just starting out Nicky

Hi Sam, I'm also in my first week of Lipotrim, currently on day 4. I'm sure you'll be well on your way and looking fab when you go to Ibiza! Best of luck with your Lipotrim journey; I'm sure you'll be celebrating a great weigh-in in a couple of days Nicky

Hi Becci, I'm doing great at the moment thanks. Just desperate to get to my first weigh-in! Re: the runny shakes- I think you may have looked at the instructions for making up the male lipotrim packs instead of the female ones. I checked on the bag and it says males mix with 450ml water, and...

Hi YorkshireAdam, I've seen a few posts where people say days 4 & 5 are quite tough, I'm really hoping that's not the case for me. I've had a week's holiday from work and I'm dreading going back as I've got a hellish couple of days coming up- feeling ropey won't help matters at all! Fingers...

I'm not sure how long I'm going to stay on TFR to be honest- I haven't done a vlcd before, so didn't know if I'd be able to cope with not eating 'normal' food. The initial plan was to complete week 1 and just take it from there. Now that I've started, I feel like I'll want to continue as long...

That's a good point Jan, I love the chocolate shake so if I keep that till the end of the day, it should make up for any disappointment I might feel at the flapjacks! I'm actually quite surprised that I haven't missed chewing as yet, or haven't had any cravings. I have a house full of...

Hi Taiseman, I'm new on this forum as well, been on Lipotrim for 3 days. Everyone on here has been really friendly and helpful. Your weight loss so far is brilliant, I'm sure you'll have another great weigh-in for week 3! Nicky

Hi everyone, On my third day now, and have to say I'm feeling brilliant! Haven't felt tired or headachey as yet- knowing my luck that will kick in once I'm back to work tomorrow. I'm really enjoying the shakes at the moment, although I have to add coffee to the vanilla. I got one soup to...

Had the vanilla for lunch as I'm looking forward to the chocolate the most. Wasn't to keen until a whizzed a bit of coffee in there- much better.I'm doing OK so far with the water I think. I do have one of the sports cap bottles, and have managed a 750ml one of those, plus a couple of mugs of...

Thanks again for all your replies. I thought long and hard about telling people what I was doing, as I was a bit worried about negative comments. I had only ever done weight watchers and slimming world, and was one of the people who thought doing a vlcd was nuts! I would never comment on anyone...

Thanks Doirin, unfortunately there isn't another chemist in my area, or I probably would have tried another. My current one is 5 minutes from my home, so at least its convenient. The lady initially brought about 35 packs out for me, and asked me how many I needed! I had read up on the website so...

Thanks for the replies; I've already learned a lot from reading through the threads here. Jan- feel free to copy my experiences into your letter. I'm feeling incredibly focused and excited to get started, but I was a little concerned about the disorganised way the pharmacy dealt with me today...

Hi all, I'm Nicky- just thought I'd introduce myself, as I'm starting Lipotrim tomorrow and think I'll be needing your support! I've been lurking a lot on Minimins, and seeing the brilliant weight losses of people on this board has really spurred me on to make the jump myself. I visited my...
