Anyone on orlistat/zenical?

Hey.
So i have been on these pills for over a week now! from the doctors. Have not cheated once! no choc crisps, nothing. Eating things like jacket potato tuna, salad. Special K ! loads of fruit and i weighed myself today and i have lost a pound!!!!

I am gutted,
Just wondered if anyone else is on them?

Xenical

Just come off Xenical been on them over a year and i've lost over 4 stone !!! I found they tood a while to get going just stick with it, the big weight loss will come all of a sudden. It sounds like you doing all the right things so there's no reason why this wouldn't work.

Good luck xxx

New to orlistat

hi i have just been prescribed orlistat going to start them on monday feeling very worried about getting them started, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
i would like to get 4/5 stone off. i have IBS so worried about the bowel issues of taking orlistat.

Orlistat

Hi yes I feel the same as you although I do feel my clothes are a bit less tight. I mesuared myself at the start (3 weeks ago). I am weighing tonight so hopefully a bit more will have come off, I think I am going to take it down from 1800 KCals a day to 1600KCals a day and low fat, and see if that helps. I will also measure myself tonight and let you know if there is any good news, stick with it cause even if its coming off really slow I feind these tablets are like a little policeman saying fine eat that Mars bar but you will pay for it on the loo and that stops me eating the mars bar, so a pound or 2 off over the month is better than the pound on 2 on, slowley getting thinner is better than quickly getting even fatter xx Jen xx

Orlistat fan

Hi
I'm into my third month of orlistat and in two months i have lost one and a half stone. I have been really strict with myself and determined to get the weight off. I've tried every diet known however, this is the one for me as all I needed was a deterrant.
The only way the tablets work is if you are willing to give up all the rubbish and eat healthily.

Orlistat

I have been taking Orlistat/Xenical for 2 weeks and have lost only 1.5 pound - Gutted. I have ate between 1800 - 2000 Kcals a day and between 12 - 15g fat a day, I feel like I am doing the right things but a bit disapointed with the results, I have has a bit of wind and my poos are a bit lose and if I have had something a bit highter fat I have had a Orange oil floating on top of the water in the loo after pooing. But not had any nightmare experiences, how many KCals do you have a day and how many G of fat. Any suggestionsa s where I have been going wrong all my meals have been low fat and I feel a bit like I must be getting it wrong somewhere or does it take a while to build up and all of a sudden it will just kick in. Please help !!

Im on zenical and im a success so far

My doctor put me on zenical mid jan 07, true enough like yourself I found the side results a little alarming and became virtually housebound for a month or so but gradually I found that it acted as a training device, and I found myself thinking before eating something and i gradually got into the habit of avoiding eating rubbish to avoid the horrid side effects, dont get me wrong I sometimes fall off the wagon with the odd pizza or kebab, but i know its going to punish me the next day and try to make sure there is nothing strenuous planned lol, but if you persevere it can work, Im living proof lol! I had tried various diets and fads but nothing really worked, but since starting on zenical I have lost 8 stone ten pounds, I still have a hell of a long way to go but I never want to go back to my start weight of 44 stone, so for me zenical works, but obviously its not for everyone, and I must admit i have spent a fortune in underwear! but its all gonna be worth it, so if youre trying zenical remember it takes a few weeks to get used to your bodies chemical setup, I understand it builds up a constant presence so it can be a bit erratic to begin with but I settled down after about seven weeks and like I say if you eat something naughty you will know about it.

Keep going!!!

Just started Zenical myself (5th week) and i know i have lost 4lb in 1 month but my clothes are a lot looser (18-16)and i feel heaps better. However it is important to exercise each day and follow a good heathly eating plan. I hope to stay on Zenical until i reach my desired clothes size .

Me too

hi there iam the same been on it a month and i aint lost a pound .like you iam gutted, the side effects are horrid,it is effecting my love life as the tablets are going through me and im bloody hungry.iam going to docs tomorrow but there a waste of time,and sick of carring a spare of trousers with me.

Orlistat

hi, I was on Orlistat for a few weeks but my weightloss was very disapointing. I stuck to all the rules and did not cheat, as didn't want the side affects!!! I was then put on Reductil, which is supposed to tell your brain that you've had enough, result was no better just made me constipated!
