Hi everyone.
I've been thinking of going for xenical for a while as I am (obviously) overweight, and always seem to lose my motivation during diets (as no-one else will know if i cheat!). Once off a diet I invariably end up bigger then when I started.
My thoughts are that with the prospects of horrible side affects linked to eating the wrong foods on xenical, I would be using it as a deterrent to help me stay on the straight and narrow.
In preparation I have started following a WW plan to help me control my portion size and have started noting the fat percentage in food - trying to stay in the 3-5% bracket.
I have lost 3lb in the last week and have an appointment booked to see the dr on Monday.
I have a very conservative doctor who doesn't seem to favour 'radical' methods as he likes to put it, but I have come to the end of the line and need something to keep me on track to continue losing weight. I need something which will keep me on track, and I cannot allow myself to fail yet another diet.
Can anyone let me know if I have to do anything prior to being allowed xenical on the nhs? or if anyone has any tips on talking stubborn doctors round to the idea?
Cheers
