orlistat xenical

[buzzzybee]

has any1 else tried these? a few years ago the dr put me on them,lost 5 stone within a year! its an anti-obesity agent that does not suppress your appetite. U take it 3 times a day with a low calorie meal,takes 30percent fat of the eaten meal then passes through ur gut undigested. They are safe. ive put all my weight bk on having 2 lil 1s,my sons just 10 days old so i'm waiting a little longer b4 a try exercising! it is a quick fix to take them but if u can stick to a diet the results are very fast and then after the year u could manage on ur own (i failed,ha) my mum passed away in nov,partly because of her weight. Thats why i really want to do it this time x

Hi buzzzy. I take it at the moment. I'm pretty much working my way through everything known to man and xenical is the current one. I'm on the list to have surgery, and I finally lost the weight they wanted me to, but now I've realised I'm terrified! so I asked to be given a bit more time to try to lose some more, to make the op a bit safer.

hiya Hecate how long u been taking it hun? U must be worried bless u i hope everything goes o.k x

reductil is shite.
i don't have to have an appetite to eat.

It'll be fine, I'm just a big coward been on it a few months now.

Agree with you there NN, I don't eat because I'm hungry! I eat because I'm unhappy! Reductil doesn't sort that out!

I have a prescription but haven't done it am starting a low-carb/low GI diet and I'm wondering would it make the diet less effective to take the xenical? I'm just asking b/c sometimes these diets work because of the balance of fat/protein/carb has something to do with it. Sorry if it's a dumb question, but I really do want to know!

no hun u would lose it faster. i did anyway (sometimes cheated a lil aswell!) if u can do it on ur own go 4it but if u feel u could do with a little help these would be the best ones as there not dangerous and they do work but there not a long term thing so sticking to a healthy diet is best.

Thanks. Was going to do a low gi/low cal diet and take them... Am currently on a low-cal 'detox' diet and have lost 7 lbs... but about 50 more to go, so I've got my work cut out for me

i know how u feel hun,dosnt help being summer,everywhere i look theres slim tanned bodies! It's a great feeling when u start to notice the weight drop off. U will get there in the end! Gud luck hun x

Ack, the good weather is kind of awful when you're fat. All the other mums were at school pick up in their lovely floaty summer dresses, and I was in jeans and t-shirt (nice ones, mind you) but so hot. I am depressed I didn't get my act together until a few weeks ago. Now it's going to be a long, fat, sweaty summer, trying to diet and exercise. Well, I'm down 5 kilos, but still, a long long long path ahead.

I still hesitate about the xenical pills-- I keep worrying that it will interfere with the way a low carb/ketosis diet works!

Do xenical pills affect your bowels?

I've got IBS and the pills sound just what I need (to give me a boost) but am worried they might set off my IBS.
