Hi Kathy
Check out the Xenical website for more info on how many calories and fat grams you should have per meal - if you google Xenical you will find the site.
If you are anything like me - I felt like the Doc wasn't much help in telling me what/how etc etc!
Lots of help on here and on that site though
Good luck!

haha - no worries
Try and stick to the low fat thing - the 'effects' aren't the most pleasant thing to happen - on the up side though, I guess you know the tablets work...
I don't think I have lost a great deal since taking them in all honesty - I got on better with Reductil - but give it a go and let us know how you get on...
How much do you have to lose?
I still have 4 stone to lose! :o(

You shoudlnt need to run to the loo if you eat low fat - you only get effects when you eat stuff you shouldn't... so don't panic about that...
If you are sensible then Xenical will work for you
Personally I found Reductil a better product - it took the thoughts of food out of my head and gave me so much willpower to turn food down and resist any snacking temptation... but the side effects are a much greater risk - I had to stop taking it after 2 months because my BP went sky high
Its all swings and roundabouts!
Give Xenical a try and if you find you don't get on with it, discuss with your Doc about trying Reductil for a while...
Good luck x
