I started taking Xenical at the end of June this year. Thats 15 weeks from my start date. I have lost 35lb and still have a long ay to go but i never set my goals too high. Taking Xenical is not difficult and as long as you keep to a low FAT and a low calorie diet you will lose weight. Drinking water is probably the next important thing. I have had a bad ankle so have not been able to exercise much and yet i have still lost the weight. If you get oily stools then look at your diet! Usually if i eat something higher in fat i get wind first. Also some food you buy claims to be low in fat which is good, but also look at the sugar content as many things replace fat with sugar.
hi my name is linda and started to take xenical and upto the start of october i have lost 6stone i go and get weighed again on the 8/11/05 and i have never felt betterText
I started Xenical about two weeks ago, I guess I have lost about 6lb. My offical weigh inn is in 2 weeks at the doctors (that will be interesting!)
I have had no bad side effects what so ever untill yesterday when I went out for a chinese. Since then (I know this sounds crude) when I pass wind I have been getting an oily orangey substance come out!!! & when I go to the toilet there is a load of floating fat!, nasty I know.
Don't think I will be having a high fat meal like that for a long time!
Its good to hear about success. I am on day 4 and as yet no real side effects, but am trying to follow a low fat plan. I bought a weeks worth of low fat ready meals just to start me off.
Although I know I should leave it, I weighed myself and believe have lost 2.5Ibs. Am really chuffed and hope can carry on.
I received my pack of info from Map this weekend, has anybody else registered?
