"When researching these tablets I came across this forum and felt hopeful to try them. I started them 4 months ago and have lost 19 pounds on the and 10 pounds before them. So a total of 29 pounds combined. They are not a miracle pill you still need to exercise and watch your fat intake. I allow myself max 15g fat per meal. I do have snacks when I want but the key in to be in a calorie deficit! And exercise. Then the tablets are gold dust. I’ve had some bad stomach cramps, messy moments but I only go once a day in the morning after my coffee. Some weeks you won’t loose or you might go up and that’s completely normal. Consistency is key and it will come off :) best of luck everyone"

Alli (orlistat) "I've had no side effects and no weight loss after 3 months, so my physician told me to stop taking the pills. My labs all came back normal, so no thyroid, Cushing's, etc... it was so frustrating! Then, because of the Covid, everything was telemedicine and I got a new physician via Zoom call and she requested a new set of labs and told me I had pre-diabetic insulin resistance. That changed everything! My diet had to change yet again. I'm following more of a high veggie and low any type of carb diet, PLUS the Alli and I am *finally* losing those darn menopause pounds that, literally, sneak up on you. What am I saying? Take Alli to help with weight loss but if it doesn't work, you need to keep working with your physician to get the right combination of diet & exercise for Alli to work. For you pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women out there; keep at it! The weight does, eventually, come off and you don't have to starve yourself or have risky surgery to do it."

"Been on orlistat for a week lost 4lb so far . Urgent need for the bathroom all day long but so worth it . Apart from that I've not had any side effects I can see so much oil coming out it makes you re evaluate what you eat I haven't changed my diet much at all and not exercising so I possibly could have lost more if I had done that too"

Xenical (orlistat) "Started this on Xenical the 13.06.20 at 18st 9lbs and now I'm 16st 0.5lbs and lost 2st 8.5lbs so far, doesn't work if you don't eat well. It encourages you to eat well as you are on the toilet all the time if you don't eat well, so far so good! It really has changed my life"

"I've started taking orlistat again and have lost 10 stone, 5 to go. 7 years ago I lost 19st in 1 year 4 months. Stupidly put it on again. Now having a medical condition i have no choice. I loose about 10lb a month on them. Keep at it they are great as long as you stick to healthy diet and exercise."

"I have been using Orlistat for 6 weeks now, and I have lost 7 kg. I’m going to use it for a few months as I’m losing weight very nicely without any side effects, except the oily stools which are normal when you eat a big oily meal. I’m happy until now, fingers crossed."

"Started orlistat six days ago, 120mg x 3 daily. I am not active as I'm wheelchair-bound, and my weight was creeping up. I have lost a whopping 12lb. The side effects aren't bad, and I reevaluated my diet and calorie count. I am hoping it keeps working."

"I have been on Orlistat since March 2019. Had a couple months break in between this time. I have lost 20 kilos. But now I’m not having any oily stools but have lots of foul smelling flatulence. Is the Orlistat still working? I need to lose more weight due to the fact I’m only short and am 63 yo. Has anyone else had the same experience but still lost weight? I’m afraid it’s no longer working "

Xenical (orlistat) "Well, I started Xenical in March last year. I had a couple of months off it as I was having bowel problems. I went on my first cruise in November 2019 and I weighed in at 71 kgs. I was 91 kgs to begin with. However, I feel like it’s not working anymore as I can’t seem to shift those last 5 kgs. I’m also not having oily stools. Anyone experience the same?"

"At 130kgs or around 20st I needed to loose weight fast, my father, my two auntie's and one of my uncles died of heart attack when they were in their 50s and I am 48. I really have tried everything, from the gym to changing my diet to even buying a cross trainer, none of it worked. I have started to use these tablets about a month ago and at first nothing happened, then one night I had my stomach bubbling and as a bit of fun in front of my wife I pushed it out as hard as I could, well talk about an orange Tsunami! I don't think I have ever moved so quick in my life, I was in the living room and I think I only took two steps and I reached the toilet where what can only be explained as the noise of a big dogs mouth purring when it's sleeping, After that I had to think ahead when my guts start bubbling, it's really strange to see orange bum juice (sorry but no other words can fit it) in the toilet, but that's a great sign it's working."

"This medicine is a life saver. I was up to 200 lbs, in January 2019. Today I’m down to 174. Plus I struggled with severe constipation for years. I now just go once a day. This medicine is wonderful."

Alli (orlistat) "I started taking Alli 2x a day 10 days ago. I only had 15 pounds that I've been struggling to lose. It's curbed my appetite and I've lost 3 1/2 pounds in 10 days! The only Con if you eat a high fat meal you will be stuck on the toilet tomorrow morning. It will definitely remind you not to do that again. What I love about Alli no jittery diet pill side effects and rapid weight loss."

"Diagnosed with significant osteoarthritis in both knees and Dr decided to give Orlistat a try to help reduce pain quickly. I was extremely wary because of all the horror stories you read online. I have been taking 120mg x 3 per day and in 6 weeks have lost 11kg. I can honestly say that I have not had ANY side effects whatsoever . I have an app on my phone where I record EVERYTHING that I eat and drink. I take photos of EVERYTHING too so I know exactly what I’m eating. I worked on a 1400 calorie per day with no more that 40g of fat over 3 meals and 2 snacks. You have to change the way you think about food, if your serious about losing weight and feeling better then you have to make changes. Orlistat isn’t a wonder drug nor is it going to do all the hard work for you BUT if you change your mindset, move more, and eat a healthy balanced diet you will see amazing results. Well, I have "

Alli (orlistat) "I started taking Alli the other day. I have had to purchase Poise pads, just in case of an oil gas or stool. I have read nothing but horror stories. But I am just experiencing extra bowel movements in the toilet. Mild stomach cramps. I wear the pads in case of anything due to side effects, but have had nothing at all. Lost weight already. But I am not hungry at all. I tried out the first day on a Sunday in case of adverse side effects. So far....so good. Hopefully this can be my go to for weight management going forward."

Xenical (orlistat) "I tried this medication years ago but couldn't handle the side effects so I stopped, bad choice. Anyways I started back on this medication 3 days ago haven't ate any fat so I haven't had any side effects and best part is I've lost 6lbs! I find being on this medication is teaching me to eat clean and watch my calorie intake. I have a long ways to go but think I can get there with the help of this medication and exercise."

Alli (orlistat) "Alli is a miracle drug. You must eat within normal guidelines to lose weight. I do not recommend binging out on foods because Alli will make you go to bathroom.. a lot! I eat 1200 calories a day, take 4 pills a day and exercise 5-7 days a week. I've been taking these pills for 1 month and lost about 11 pounds..( down 35 total now from 8 months ago) I take them 1 week on and 1 week off to give my body a break so technically 11 pounds taking them 2 weeks.. Definitely recommend"

"I have an under-active thyroid & an antidepressant that increases appetite & slows your metabolism, so I’ve struggled with my weight for years. I had my 2nd weigh in yesterday, & I’ve lost 17.4lbs (over a stone) in two weeks! I am 24 years old, 5”7 & started at 15.5 stones, I’m now roughly 14.2 stones. This is not from taking Orlistat alone, you NEED to put the effort in yourself. If you are getting the orange stuff in the toilet, that is most likely your fault. I have not been following any particular diet, but I’ve been going to the gym almost everyday & sticking to below 1200 calories. I also cut out red meat & wine. The biggest thing that has helped, & I’m not sure if I read the advice on here or not, is stick to below 15g of fat per meal. I’ve had no accidents whatsoever (so far) with Orlistat, & I believe that’s down to following a restricted diet alongside it. I think this is a tablet that you can’t just take as a diet supplement, it will help you - if you help it."

"I weighed in at 97.9kg on 14th Feb. Now 93.4kg!!!!! Don't eat lamb!!!!! No accidents unless you cheat the pills. Keep low fat record on my Samsung app! Amazing as it suppresses the appetite also. I ate junk food and lived on coca cola prior to this. Orlistat has given me confidence to go swimming 4 days a week before work and I have more energy and look better!!!"

Alli (orlistat) "This is the only diet aid that I would use. It is non addictive, and does not cause the jitters or sleeplessness. It's easy to use and it does the job. I've use Alli selectively off and on if I've had fat in a meal for many years. We aren't supposed to eat high fat, but it's satisfying and helps prevent carbo bingeing. And not every meal contains significant amount of fat. It also helps if you need to drop weight fairly quickly. All of the rumours about Alli are true. You will need to move your bowels more often and you may get I need a bowel motion type cramps. They say some of the side effects are deliberate, to prevent you from chowing down on a heaping plateful of ribs. Once, just once, I had an accident - fortunately, I was at home."
