Hello

I have previously used Alli and was prescribed Xenical by my doctor a while ago and have been using it ever since - on and off in some instances I must admit. However, over the past couple of weeks I've really come to "depend" on it?? Sounds silly I know, but taking it has really motivated me in my eating habits and I find that when I don't take it with a meal I feel quite agitated and can't really enjoy eating anything?! (Last Sunday I drove all the way home from a restaurant and back again because I'd forgotten my Xenical!)

I'd not realised how low on the tablets I was getting. I checked this morning and I'm down to THREE!!! :eek: I phoned my doctors and they've said I'll need to see the practice nurse again for a weigh-in before they'll prescribe me any more (although I was told I'd only need to be weighed after 3 months..!) Only problem is - she can't see me until 12th March..13 whole days from now!! And if its anything like last time, I won't even get the prescription that day but will have to go back for it a couple of days later.. :(

I really don't know what to do?? I could buy Alli to tide me over but I'm hesitant to spend so much money.. And are Alli something like half the dosage of Xenical?? Is it worth it??

Oh gosh, what to do??? What would YOU do?? Any advice would be so welcome, I know it's only something little but I feel really stressed out about it??? Thanks in advance, really means alot :) xx

Why don't you phone the doc in the morning when they 1st open and get a doc appt and then tell the doc how you will run out of tablets in 3 days so please can you have script now, pretty please.. I always say I will wait for doc to sign and most times it's done within 5-10 mins! But I insist that - I will wait!! It helps I have a 2 year old who's very noisy when he's well lol :) worth a try :)
 
I'm not sure where you're up to with me Lexie but given the nurses weigh in today I've lost 7 lbs since we started this.
I'm not going to make my goal though. It was obviously too optimistic but I'll just keep going

Kat can we say that loss in a more positive tone - you have lost half a stone!!!!! X
 
I'm past the sticking point if I don't go off my scales.
Ok Kirsty yay whoop I've lost 7 lbs :) :)

That's great - its true if I said that you'd slap me outta it lol!!

Write something in the positivity thread!! It'll keep you going :)

Half a stone is brilliant! X
 
fabulous kat. Half a stone is great. you've shown us all how we need to keep going, even when it get's tough and we want to give up. You're no quitter! hope i can say the same down the line. Well done on all your hard work and well earned progress x
 
Weigh in tommorow...hope I have lost something. Had a pretty rubbish weekend food wise and then have been ill all week with nasty cold virus. On the plus side I've dropped a jeans size! hurrah and I treated myself to some new Bras at the weekend 40F...bye Bye 44G, 44F, 42F...:D

Well done Kat!! Every loss is a positive :)
 
Well if you've had a dodgy weekend then the loss might not be as big as you'd hope but stay focused this week and you can make up for it ;).

( snot weighs a tonne btw lol! ) x
 
Lol the amount of Snot Ive had come out of me this week I should be a stone lighter! Where the hell does it all come from?
