Hi
Just started with xenical this week. Wasnt clear about 5% rule etc and as yet havent had any side effects. Read it can take a while to kick in?
A few questions
1 - the doc weighed me, gave me a repeat prescription for I think a total of 3 months - never had a repeat prescription, so not sure what to look for. Pharmacist gave me back a peice of paper to drop back at the docs when I run out - Is this correct?
2 - The doc mentioned 5% of body weight and to get weighed in one month by the nurse. Am I expected to loose that in one month or over the 3 months?
3 - Any ideas on what kcal intake I should be aiming for - start weight 150k clothed (like it makes a difference)
Forgot to say I am a male - 45 1/4 years old!!
