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 water down. I went to the doctor and spoke to the pharmacist, and both said I appeared to be suffering some sort of allergic reaction and should stop Lipotrim immediately.
I'm absolutely gutted, especially when I was weighed and saw I had lost 10 pounds! I've spent most of the weekend crying my eyes out:cry:
My doctor has referred me for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which I think will be a good thing. He was also suggesting I try Orlistat (the one that makes orange oil leak out of your bottom, apparently ), but I've refused that.
Anyway, I'd just like to thank everyone on this board for all the help and advice I received- you are all fab, and a huge support for anyone following the diet.
I'll still be around on minimins, probably on the Slimming World boards, and will pop in from time to time to see how people are doing, and torture myself reading about your amazing weight losses
