"I'm on the Implanon so I can't manage to lose weight with anything I do, but with Xenical, I have already lost 2 kgs in just 2 days. I have not exercised as I am sick at the moment. I have two a day with my two meals, lunch and dinner. The only thing I stop myself from is snacking, which is tough. Can't wait to continue with this product!"

"First, let me start by saying yes, if you eat the wrong foods, you will have a bad time. This is a sort of magic pill, but you need the right ingredients. Think low fat! You will become aware of what you can and can't eat. I've been on a low-fat diet with exercise coupled with these pills. I've been working hard and seeing amazing results. My doctor has said I will probably only need these pills for six months to get to where I need to be. My first weigh-in saw me lose 10 kgs, that's around 21 lbs or 1.5 st dependent on what you work with. I've cut out all the bad things and have been walking at least a mile a day, as well as doing other exercises a couple of times a week. I'm living proof it works, no accidents either. 19st 5 to 17st and counting!"

"I have only been on this medication for 2 months now. In my first weigh-in, I lost 6 lb 6 oz, and in my second weigh-in, I lost the same again, overall 12 lb 12 oz. Just 2 lb short of a stone, couldn't believe I've lost weight so quickly when I could never lose weight on my own. I've not exercised on these tablets and have just eaten normally, which is naughty of me. I started off at 21 stone, and I'm now at 20. Got a long way to go as my goal is back to 8 stone from what I was originally. If I keep this up though and eat healthily and exercise more, I'll be slim before I know it, and I'll be happy again."

"I took Xenical years ago. I was working a very physical postal job, so I did get quite a bit of exercise, but before taking it, I had not lost much. Once I started it, I lost thirty pounds within a couple of months with very little effort. Side effects were minimal as long as I didn't eat excessive fat, but as good as it worked, I could handle them."

"Just starting month 3 on Xenical. My BMI has dropped below 30, so no longer obese. Still a way to go, but over a stone gone & kept off. Feel so much better. Sleeping better, eating better & jogging (never jogged in my life!). Looking forward to my next weigh-in in Sept."

"Just been back for my 2nd month of tablets. Lost 10 lbs in the 1st 3 weeks of being on Xenical & gone from a size 18 to a comfortable 16. Eating more healthily, but need to start exercising if this is going to work properly. It doesn't work for everyone, but definitely worth trying if you're struggling with your weight."

"I've been taking Xenical 120mg tablets as I was close to 19 stone. I've always been a big girl, but having an underactive thyroid plus polycystic ovarian syndrome just kept me gaining weight, which made me depressed, which made me eat more. I've been on them for 5 weeks. In the first 4 weeks, I've lost 18 lbs, and I am due to get weighed in 3 weeks again. I've been going to the gym and swimming as well, and sticking to 2000 calories."

"I was prescribed Xenical a few years ago and lost just over three stone in four months. I went from a size 18 to a 14 and felt fantastic! I even joined the local gym. Unfortunately, my weight stayed the same for a couple of months, so I was taken off them. Since then, I've had another baby and finding time to eat healthy has been a struggle for me. I am now 16 stone. The doctor has once again prescribed Xenical, and I'm determined to keep the weight off this time. If you struggle with diets, then I would recommend these, fingers crossed."

"I was not the really type of girl who'd sacrifice food to lose weight, so I tried taking Xenical because I've heard that it really is effective. I used to weigh 176 pounds, but after 2 weeks of taking Xenical, I now weigh 158 pounds. That's 18 pounds lost with no effort of giving up my cravings. The side effects don't bother me much because they always don't come at the wrong time."

"Well, just thought I would update you all. I left a comment on here last week. Had my first weigh-in yesterday and I have lost 11 pounds. Doctor has prescribed me these now for 2 more months and I have to have another review in 2 months' time. I'm so glad that these pills are working. My confidence has been given a real boost. Still suffering with loose stools but watching what I'm eating, but everything is moving in the right direction."

"I love Xenical. It is basically making me scared to eat rubbish because of the oily poo side effect, with a very urgent need to 'go' it is making me look at food in a different way. If I see a family-size chocolate bar, which previously I would have eaten within 2 minutes, I just see it as a slab of fat. It has changed my attitude towards food. I now eat healthy food because I know what the unhealthy food will look like as it comes out, and I am disgusted that all of that unhealthy fat was going into my body, into my arteries, around my heart. It has been a visual education in healthy eating. I am losing weight and it's thanks to Xenical."

"This is my second week of Xenical and I have had no side effects at all. I am sticking to Weight Watchers Pro Points diet and going to the gym three times a week. I have not weighed myself yet, but I can feel the difference in my clothes already. Looking forward to my next weigh-in. My starting weight was 14st 3lbs."

"On my second lot now, first time I took them I was 16 which is young but at the time I was 23 stone, so was a risk worth taking. I lost a stone a month for 6 months then as the doctor predicted my body became semi-immune to them, but I was also cheating a lot then. I've started them again, started at 19 stone this time. (Stopped my exercising and healthy eating, my own fault), but in the first month this time lost 1 stone 4 lb. Xenical is a wonderful drug, but you really must make the effort with it, eat healthy, exercise and the drug really will take care of the rest, best thing since sliced bread."

"I've been on Xenical for 8 weeks now and I've lost 24 pounds so far. I'm averaging 3 pounds a week. I've cut back about 20% of my calorie intake and with the pill, I've cut my fat intake in half. I also go for a 1/2-hour walks each day. With most meals, I've cut back the portions that I was eating and have done substitutions of meals such as grilled cheese sandwiches instead of having 2 burgers, also 1% milk instead of 2%. I bake potatoes in the microwave then cut them up and fry them instead of eating heavily fat-laden hash browns, and I'm also eating lots of fiber foods and eating fat-free egg whites (flavored) instead of regular eggs."

"I found Xenical to work very well. True, it did have side effects, but that was a good motivator to make healthier food choices. When I was food wise, I didn't have any problems. I lost 10 pounds in 1.5 months walking 10,000 steps per day and eating healthy. I did get the headaches associated with the side effects, but they weren't as bad as my normal sinusitis headaches, so it was doable. I would recommend this to anyone in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. Exercise is a must because this does not speed your metabolism up. Have faith, stay strong, and you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to."

"I went to my doctor in April of 2000. My weight was 218 lbs, and I am only 5 ft 1 inch, so you can imagine me being just as round as tall. I took the pills 3 times a day and walked 1 to 2 miles twice a day. I was down to 135 lbs by the following summer of 2001. I did put on some weight starting in 2003 to 2004 as I had gotten married and my whole cooking habits changed. I am walking on my treadmill daily now and eating better. Trying to take it off again."

"Xenical is great!! On 3 months I lost 30 pounds, never gained it back! I'm doing it again, my goal is 30 or 40 more. Side effects... true, but you learn how to handle it!"

"Xenical made me look skinnier than ever. I also controlled my calorie intake while I was taking them. I went from 140 to 125. I was 125 lbs when I was 15 years old, now I am 32. The issue with the bathroom trips is true and kind of uncomfortable, but you will learn to deal with the situation."

"25, female, started off at 15st 7lbs or 99kg or 217lbs (I’m 5’7). Originally was looking for a quick fix but realistically when it comes to weight loss there isn’t one. I gained 70lbs in the last 4 years and finally realized how unhappy I was. 20 days in and I have lost 14lbs/6kg. I am strict on my diet, though to be honest haven’t done the recommended exercise. So I can only imagine how much I would have lost in that time. As for the oily orange stools, I haven’t had any uncontrollable accidents, you can see it in the toilet bowl but haven’t had any embarrassing moments as of yet, but I am keeping within the recommended daily allowance of fats. I would recommend Orlistat to anyone who needs a helping hand, I have found that it has made me really determined to make better choices regarding my health and weight. Co-workers and family have noticed a difference in my body and I can feel it in my clothes so I’m really happy."

"When I started taking this drug, I was 235 lbs, and in a matter of 4 weeks, my weight came down to 220 lbs! 15 lbs in a month!! I did not even exercise, so imagine how much more is possible if I did. One thing to be careful with is leakage. It makes it easy to leak orange fats when farting, so be careful with that since it’s oily!"

"This has been a miracle drug for me! I have tried and failed many times at dieting. I could not lose weight. I am type 1 diabetic, and I just kept packing on the pounds. Finally, at 271 lbs, I asked for help. In the U.S., my insurance would not cover the cost of Xenical. It was going to cost me $600 a month. Fortunately, the clinic has a prescription assistance program, and I am able to get it for $15 a month. I found out real quick what I could eat and what I could not eat. There were a few days spent on the toilet, but I learned to modify my eating. Xenical does not make you jittery or fill you up. It works in your stomach and gut. I went to my weight doctor yesterday, and in three months, I have lost 33 lbs without much effort at all!!! I am now 238 lbs, and do not need to sleep with my sleep apnea machine. I feel great and people comment that even my complexion looks better. I am still taking Xenical, and still losing weight."

"Ive been with slimming world (SW) for over a year, I lost nearly 15kg (33lb) and still have 15kg to go. My wight lose ground to a stop as I have done so many times before but this time decided not to give up. I'm using xenical along with SW and lost 2kg in my first week. I have not had any of the side effects but SW is low fat anyhow. I have underactive thyroid RA and OA. I have had 2 knee and 1 hip replacements, 1 toe fusion 1 trapeziectomy in the last 3 years. Fingers crossed losing the weight will also help my poor joints. I would recommend it along with a low fat low carb diet. It is not a miracle cure but if you help yourself it will give you that little extra boost"
