Just been prescribed this from my GP.
Having done WW and more recently SW and really finding it hard to loose weight.

I can say hand on heart I have stuck to diet plans, do aqua aerobics x2 a week and zunba weekly and im no lighter or smaller..Sad.

Just started xenical yesterday... anyone got any advice or comments on how they find it..? good or bad Smile.

TIA X

Hello! know this is a super old thread but actually i wanted to know if anyone (who was taking it) kept the weight off or lasted long term with the orlistat? i've just started taking it and am terrified of the side effects. i am on weight watchers pro points but both today and yesterday i've had to go over my points with carbs just to stop the low blood sugar dizziness. :/ i guess that evens out at some point....? has anyone had an "accident" eating less 15g fat (or less) in one go?

It helped me. It is like a fat eating punishment. i once farted at work and the brown juice came out of my neck. Never fart.
It takes about 3 days for the full force.
I had a snickers and it took less than an hour to come out.
Stick with them and learn the snickers lessons and it will help you think twice before popping chocolate or stuffed crust pizza (don't ask).
