  5. @ jeanpeen, I ain't got NO willpower, it's all GOD, without him, I'd eat every piece of chocolate in sight!! smile And I would NEVER walk for 3-5 hours a day or do Billy blanks for 2 hours a day when I'm not walking. I only eat 1500 max calories a day and PRAY like crazy I lose the weight haha. All thanks to my beloved LORD, he has taken it off and continues to do so. SO to HIM be all the glory AMEN

  6. One of the chemists that I have been phoning had a delivery yesterday (Friday) and when I phoned this morning they only had 48 tablets left and someone was already on their way to collect them.. this was in Rainham Essex ..they said they have a continous order placed but had no idea when the next lot will be in..

    Another chemist in Basildon said they were told to expect a delivery during the first two weeks of June..so occasional supplies getting through but not enough..

  7. mine have had nothing and the order has been back logged since march

  11. Hi Sharon this drug is known as Orlistat or Xenical and over the counter its called Alli .. the first two are usually 120mg strength and the OTC Alli is 60 mg.. it helps your body to not absorb some of the fat in your food ... but to find out the correct medical terms put in a google search for any of the names of this drug and you will get all the info.

    When I looked on Ebay the only ones I could find for the 120mg strength were in america and they were asking a small fortune for just 48 capsules.... they were over £70.00 with P&P on top.......

  12. According to the chemists, it is a packaging issue.

    According to doctor, they want to put the price up for NHS and waiting for an agreement!

    :Basically it's the patient that is losing out!

    @toteroe: I think the same.

  14. If anyone is thinking of buying from Ebay and other places just remember there are plenty of fake drugs out there. We cannot be sure if a drug we buy is legal or not from these types of places and we might not get to find out until its to late as you could end up seriously ill or even dead.

    So be warned because the criminals just cant wait to get hold of your money.

  16. OK so ive been browsing the patient website and im trying to find out stuff to do with weight loss, ive been bf my little girl for 11 weeks tomorrow, for the last 3 ive been combining with formula so i know she'd be ok if i were to stop BF, thing is i seem to keep gaining weight, i was prescribed orlistat 3 years ago and i lost about 1st in 3 weeks which was great, then i fell preg with my son so had to stop them, after having him i had severe PND and was on medication for that and i was not particularly hungry and i exercised on the wii fit for an hour every other day and i lost quite a bit of weight, then i came off my antidepressants, and gained 2stone then fell pregnant with my little girl who is now as i say 11 weeks tomorrow, i dont eat huge amounts my portions are smaller than hubbys but more than my 2 and 3 year olds, i actually put my dinner on a smaller plate on purpose.

    I just dont know what to do any more, you'd think running around after 3 under 4 i would burn of plenty of energy, i also find no matter how busy i am i eat more when hubby is at work, its almost like im secret eating without meaning to.

    I used to be bulemic age 15-20 I am now approaching 31, there are days i think about shoving my fingers down my throat again as i was a size 10 back then but i wasnt happy with the way i looked back then

    right now I would be happy with the weight and size 14st and size 16 last april at my sons 1st birthday.

    the thing thats made me want to cry is i have NOTHING that fits me at the moment, i had to buy a pair a 3/4 length trousers yesterday in a size 22 as all i have that does fit is my maternity trousers and jeans ,... how depressing

    not a good sign that there seems to be a lack of orlistat though, anyone know of any other weight loss drug available from the gp

  17. Hi dwalters81 ..How I sympathise with you about clothes.. its such a booster when smaller nicer clothes fit .. and I understand about picking when your hubby is at work ..mine works a late afternoon into the night shift and I find evenings are hardest not to snack .. I have completely stopped chocolate and bread during the week and in the evening I will either have an apple and sometimes a few (small handfull) of nuts if I feel like a snack..

    But the thing is maybe its worth you going back to the doctor as your low feelings could be a mild bout of PND again that you need a bit of help with.. explain to your GP exactly how you are feeling and they will be able to tell you the best way they can help you.

    My own daughter had PND and this on its own is hard enough to deal with apart from having your hands full with two little ones ..do go and see your GP. xx

  18. i have called my gp today and they have no appts for the rest of the week which means i now have to wait 2 weeks to be able to see a gp and really dont want to take all 3 children into the surgery and next week is half term

    i will try calling tomorrow and wednesday to see if i can get an on the day appt though

  19. @dwalters81 - i checked with my dr to see what else i could take and he said there is nothing else !!, i decided to check with my uncle (he's a dr in birmingham) and he also said nothing else on prescription !!

    good luck with yours, would you mind letting us all know how you get on with yours and if you do get something else, i think we will all be RUNNING to our dr's !! he he

    Thank you
