"i started orlistat one week ago prescribed by my gp for weight loss aid. last monday i weighed 15 stone on the button. today i weigh 14 st and 8 lbs. so approx 6 lbs weight loss in just a week. in honesty i haven&#039;t changed my diet that much. i always eat relatively well at work. my breakfast contains little or no fat, my lunch is mainly healthy but i still eat crap in the evenings through boredom. i haven&#039;t done any exercise yet but must start. i experience the oily stools at least 3-4 times per day. i take 3 tablets per day around 15 minutes after each meal. i did read some reviews that said &quot;the worse you eat, the more you lose&quot; i don&#039;t know if this is true i just know that it is different for everyone."
