Another orlistat thread for a newbie!!

Hi, Newbie to orlistat and Mumsnet tbf! Been on orlistat since Tuesday, no side effects yet. Bought some period pants in case of accidents and wear them daily, and have a spare pair plus wipes in my bag which helps me feel more secure about that side of things. I'm aiming for 47g of fat which is spread through the day ( set by my fitness Pal) and log everything. I've got 2 stone to lose and as a 53 year old menopausal lump it's my last resort. I exercise and eat fairly healthily anyway but never been this big. I've woken up with mild headaches last couple of days. Hoping these pass. Also if anyone been onit before - does the constant pooping stop or at least slow down? I've not weighed myself yet , will be doing on body stat machine at gym on Monday I hope. Think my face looks a bit less bloated but not sure if I'm imagining it 🤣

I'm using orlistat, if you eat high fat food the pooping carries on unfortunately. I don't and never had any side effects whilst taking them. The best way for me to lose weight was the slimming injections, I've lost 3 stone in 4 months. I was using Ozempic but the price has gone through roof so now I'm taking trulicity and it's just as good as ozempic.

Thanks, not heard of trulicity I'll have a look. I'm doing my first weigh in tomorrow after a week so let's see!
