Hi all - I am on day 4 of xenical and so far have been good and no side affects. However I think I may be eating too many calories and not enough fat as first 3 days only had approx 20g fat and about 1700 calories. I quit smoking 3 years ago next week and gained about 3 stone. I weight 14stone 6lb at doctors (although my scales say 3 lb more) and I like a lot of others hate going out, hate buying clothes, hate cameras and generally do not feel good about myself and this time I need to get myself sorted.:cry:
This site sounds so good and helpful and when I quit smoking I was on a similar site to this and it was my life saver when I wanted a cigarette and was about to tear my hair out. People say if you can quit smoking how come you can't control your weight but I think quitting smoking was easier.
Also in Sept 2007 had open heart surgery for a hole in the heart I had apparently had for years and last year had to see my 16 year old go through same operation at GOSH as she had a hole in her heart. I think I have just been comfort eating for the last 3 years and now it is time for some action on the weight front.
I want to lose at least 3 stone and because I was depressed about my weight and myself generally and had tried other diets the doctor agreed for me to try the blue tabs so here goes
Well good luck to all of you and I will try and post on here as much as I can to get the lovely support you all seem to give.
