Just got my prescription.

[Soupstone]

Hi all, was at the chemest today and asked again if there was any Orlistat yet and was pleased to be told they had loads.

That means my 5 month wait has come to an end and I'll be starting my weightloss in the morning.

I've tried the odd diet whilst I was waiting, but it's never came to anything. So here goes.

Good luck with the tablets! I've been on them over a year, though only take one a day now, and have had a very good experience with them. xx

Hi Soupstone!
Stick to the rules about fat, and this, with the tablets should see results!
I'm a couple of months into the tablets, and have adapted my diet...and it is working.
Keep posting here - everyone is really supportive!

 

[Soupstone]

Thank you both for the replies, hopefully cutting out the junk food , eating better and the tablets will do it this time.

Just need to stick with it.

I started taking them for the first time on Monday. So far so good and I have not really craved fatty food, lets see what the weekend brings. Good luck with your journey

 

[Soupstone]

Good Luck too JackieDon, how are you finding it so far?

 

[JackieDon]

To be honest I have not struggled at all and have not craved anything naughty. I have incorporated it with cutting down my portion sizes because I have a huge appetite. I was previously doing slimming world and was doing OK but it was not encouraging me to cut down my portions and I was putting far too much pressure on myself with the dreaded weekly weigh in. With the tablets I suppose if I want a treat now and again I can have one without the pressure and I do have quite a lot on socially between now and xmas. I had avoided the tablets like the plague before because I get bouts of IBS now and again but the GP reassured me that if I did not eat the fat I would be fine and so far so good and its almost a week now. I have also been referred to weight management services and have my first appointment on 21st November. I have asked the GP about hypnotherapy so I can go along there and see what is on offer.

Well done, 4lbs is a good solid start!

 

[JackieDon]

Well done, thats excellent, I was well pleased with my 6lb loss in the first week. I doubt it will be anything close it that this week as I have a couple of social events on when I will not be taking the tablets, for obvious reasons x

That's great but font forget the tablets take about 72hours to get in or out of your system so you'll need to stop taking them a few days before any event not to get tangoed

6lb's is a great result, a loss really helps keep the motivation up.

 

[JackieDon]

I only stopped taking the tablets 24 hours before I had a chinese and then when I had several wines a half a pizza and I was fine, lol....

 

[Soupstone]

Another 2lbs this week, have to be honest and say the weight loss is more down to the tablets than anything else.

Going to have a serious go at it this week.

 

[Rachgleeson]

well done on your losses, you have made a great start

 

[Soupstone]

3lb's gone this week, slow and steady.

 

[Rachgleeson]

well done on a brilliant loss

 

[JackieDon]

Another 3 and a half off this week so thats 13lb in 4 weeks, well pleased with that

 

[Mis-behave]

That really good, well done
