| 5 | | 5/18/2004 | 3 | Not yet | Did anyone get Xenical online? | Did anyone get Xenical online, if so what website did you use. I do not have a prescription plan to cover it. | M | | 3/9/2007 | 1 | weight loss | severe bloating, cramping, extreme abdominal discomfort, WEIGHT GAIN! oily stools, big orange lipid like formations in my urine, leakage! leakage! leakage! | don't wear white! Sometimes I'd experience extreme bloating, so severe from gas, forcing movement from my bowels. Could not control leakage. Even worse, my husband says I've gained weight, especially in my stomach. I've never had a gut. Now, it pooches so far out I can't even button my fat pants! I stopped taking it so I could actually LOSE weight. This stuff is proof that the best way to lose weight is to be good to your body. Eat well and exercise... shortcuts are not worth it. | F | | 10/22/2006 | 1 | Anerexic | near death | should be tackon off the market was sold to me even thow im only 47kgs | F | 15 | 2 weeks | 8/25/2008 | 5 | obese | only slight hunger pains due to less/healthier food consumed than previously | this product is great! although expensive, ive seen results. i feel fine and normal in every way. just make sure you keep under the 30gram limit fat intake or you will pay in leakage and disgusting toilet habits. there isnt much help on the internet for a diet under 30grams so ill give you a typical day for me: four strawberries, a banana and a kiwi fruit for breakfast with a dollop of low fat yogurt on it - 2.5grams museli bar - 6grams steamed brocolli, carrot and potato with chicken - 12grams vita weats with vegemite - 3.5 grams grilled chicken breast with white rice and side salad - 6grams this can be varied accordingly. i find xenical great and im thankful for this product and my weight loss! | F | 17 | 1 weeks | 8/26/2009 | 5 | obese teenager | in the first couple of weeks i didnt get any side effects, i felt great and completely normal. yesterday was the first time that i had orange, oily stool. this can be explained though, because i ate kfc and didnt watch my points that day. it wasnt bad/painful though. | i weighed 120kilos when starting xenical, honestly it has changed my life. i cant remember a time when i loved shopping, my body and clothing so much! i wore a size 24-26 for the past year, which is horrible as a teen in highschool. in just four weeks im now wearing size 18 jeans! big big big improvement, i cant believe it. i can now also fit into (the biggest size though) of normal clothes, not pluz size for once! i currenty weigh 112kgs. its great, i dont feel like a burden to myself, family or friends. its now october and ill probably stay on xenical until january, just to get over the xmas period. xenical is great, i havent had any side effects and it has boosted my fitness, confidence and ability to love myself.. email me if you wish for any other details. | F | 17 | 4 weeks | 9/30/2009 | 5 | Obesity | One incident of dark orange oil in my stool but that was because I had 2 slices of pizza that had 12g of fat EACH. | So far this has been really good for me. I haven't actually weighed myself yet but I certainly feel smaller. A lot of people on here are saying that they're experiencing really bad side effects, but then they say they're eating about 12g of fat with every meal. It's no surprise if you're eating that much! The most I'll have in one meal is 7g. The pills work wonderfully but only if you cut down enough. | F | 18 | 6 days 120mg 3X day | 6/19/2013 | 2 | To lose weight | Well I was going into m y second week and had no bowel movements what so ever. Very constipated. Mild headaches. Haven't seen my period as yet which is wierd because I have all the symptoms of it but it just hasn't come as yet. no appeitite. Scared to eat certain things just by the way they look or smell. i have been eating meat like chicken and stuff but like the rice and pasta, the starch part I'm just not that interested oin eating. I do pass gas and it is very smelly but I just can't pass and stool. It's Scary. I stopped taking Xenical. I did lose a lil weight but that was because i wasn't eating, because I was afraid to eat because of the cramps that i got by being on the meds and eating. | Although I stopped taking it, I'm still constipated and now I'm eating prunes like crazy and taking laxatives. This is the pits beacause I'm four days away from my vacation. I still don't have an appetite and i have serious stomach cramps. I had a friend who started taking Xenical the same time as I did and she's fine. she's experiecing the normal orange oily poop and bowel movements and has lost 5 pounds and it's goingon her second week. I gave the rest of my Xenical. I just think it's not for me.Because I was so constipated my face borke out in pimples and everything I ate didn't want to stay down. Really disappointed but hey I rather be happy eating something i like and still look good than not eating at all and having to be in pain and look like a walking zombie.

I lost two pounds when i started taking it but now i think i've gained 4!!! i ate relatively healthy until i started taking this and i just thought oh well the pill will take care of it... big mistake had an accident, it wasn't discreet!!! maybe i should just run with it for a couple of months see what effect it has... | F | 19 | 4 days | 7/3/2006 | 4 | weight loss | gas oily stools oil leak | Iv been taking this drug for 3 months and iv lost 2 stone allready , 28 pounds It is very effective as long as you follow the correct dietry requirments no more than around 17g of fat per meal or you will have the side effects but that gives you more power to eat healthy and diet more you need to exercise with this drug or the weight loss isnt as rapid i do not recomend taking this drug if you are not willing to cut down in your diet or willing to exercise apart from that i will be keeping up my diet with xecnical and hopefuly loose a few more stone | F | 20 | 3 months 120mg 3X day | 8/26/2010 | 3 | To lose weight | Orange & oily stool. Oil can sometimes leak when your standing, etc. | Im only on the first week of taking xenical & Im hoping it is working. I've been watching my diet and I lost almost 5lbs. The only thing I would say about this pill is what you've read already. Its unpleasant when you have use the restroom and oil comes out. I went shopping the other day and felt wet from behind & rushed home to prevent embarassment. Oil comes out even when you pass gas. Wiping w/ tissue alone doesn't remove the oiliness of your butt, so I would recommend having wet wipes. I usually just take showers after I use the restroom. | F | 20 | 4 days 2X day | 10/12/2011 | 3 | To lose weight | 1st day of taking xenical and no side effects ..... or so i thought, taking 3 tablets 2day , 1 with my special K , 1 with my grilled chicken jacket potato and salad and 1 with a bowl of boiled rice and now i cant stop beening sick, have had banging head aches for 5 hours now is this normal?

XENICAL (ORLISTAT): This medication is used with a doctor-approved exercise, behavior change, and reduced-calorie diet program to help you lose weight. It is used by certain overweight people, such as those who are obese or have weight-related medical problems. Taking orlistat can also help keep you from gaining back weight you have lost. Losing weight and keeping it off can lessen the many health risks that come with obesity, including heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and a shorter life. Dietary fats need to be broken down into smaller pieces before the body can absorb them. Orlistat works by blocking the enzyme that breaks down fats in your diet. This undigested fat then passes out of your body in your bowel movement. Orlistat does not block the absorption of calories from sugar and other non-fat foods, so you still need to restrict your total intake of calories.
