Hi, I have an appointment with my G.P on Wednesday to see if she will prescribed me Xenical. I'm 45 years old and have 5 stone to loose, I can't believe I got this big! I'm only 5 foot tall, I should weigh about 8 stone but weigh just under 13 stone, I have a bad back and painful feet so don't exercise. My BMI is about 33.7 so I think I have a good chance of her prescribing it for me, what do you think?
So what should I expect from taking it, how do you feel on it? I overeat, binge on what is not good for me. I can, when I put my mind to it, eat and cook healthy meals but I then eat a packet of biscuits or lots of cheese.
I thought to make it easier for myself I may have a Weight Watchers ready meal every night for the first week, would this be OK? I want to count calories and I think for my height and sedentary lifestyle, even though I have a 4 year old to chase after, I should eat around 1300 calories a day.
Any information to help me get started (if the G.P gives me Xenical) would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ruth
