I have been taking Xenical for two weeks now. I started my diet 4 weeks ago and have lost 10 pounds so far. I still have 30 or so to go. I have not had bad side efects on Xenical. I have been eating right and working out 5-6 days a week. I have not had the need to go to the bathroom more ofton, in fact that has stayed the same as if I wasn't taking it. Only one time did I have a lose bowel, that was after a large dinner out(steak & shirmp). I had more fat that night then i regerly eat. :eek: For me if I eat right there is no side efects. It has changed the color of my movments to orange. If you are taking it feel free to write me and let me know if it works for you. thanks
:cool:

so far so GREAT. i have lost 55lbs on xenical, and thats in 4 months. i was 300 lbs and now iam down to 255lbs and still losing it. mine you this past few weeks has been hard and i fine myself starting to snack alot. keep up the great work. heres a question, is it covered by your health care plan. not here, it bugs me because you have to go to the doctor to get a prescription, so HE gets paid for the visit, but you have to pay for it out of your own pocket..some plan

Hello all!! :)

Way to go on your weight loss! Keep up the good work.

I am starting Xenical tomorrow, I am excited, I hope it helps.

My insurance covers my meds, thank goodness, It said that 21 days was $90.78 I bout died, but I only had to pay $6.00. My insurance only covers 21 days at a time, but I guess I can not complain.

Take care and good luck!! ;)

I became extemly ill after using Zenical for 18 days. Had to spend six days in the hospital and 3 weeks later I'm still not right. any one else get sick?

I have been on Xenical and Phen for over 6 months now, and never had a problem with it at all. What happened? And what did your Dr. say?

I contracted diverticulitis.

[Yesitslee]

Chunga,

what exactly is that, if I might ask?

thanx

[chunga]

DIVERTICULITIS IS AN INFECTION OF THE LARGE INTESTINE CAUSED WHEN STUFF GETS TRAPPED IN THE FOLDS OF THE INTESTINE. CAUSES SEVERE PAIN AND HIGH TEMP. CAN CAUSE THE INTESTINE TO PERFERATE AND THIS IS POSSIBLY FATAL IF NOT TREATED. THE YOUNGER AND STRONGER THE PATIENT THE MORE CHANCE OF PERFERATION YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM DESTROYS YOUR INTESTINES. IT IS NOT A GOOD THING TO HAVE!

I have been on Xenical about 4 wks, I haven't weigh my self to see how much I have lost, but I know I did, however this is what I am faced with: loose stool, lots of gas(that is very noisy) and lots of yellow liquid when I pass this gas. Is this normal and what is the yellow liquid??????? The gas is so loud sometimes it is embarassing.....

tbaby....I was on xenical for a little over a month too....I was watching what I ate,and exercising howver I still had all the side effects...If I did pass gas it was VERY noisy and VERY embaressing....I had a lot of orange oily discharge when I would use the restroom....so the yellow you are seeing might just be the oily discharge, I constantly had intestinal gas and was always feeling nausiated ( keep in mind I was eating pretty low fat ) I stopped taking that and am now taking Phen. I was considering taking both, but after being off the xenical, I would never take it again... it's also a fairly new product, so not much long term testing has been done ( from what I have heard ) if you are worried about the yellow discharge, call your doctor or pharmacy, they should have answers for you! Good luck!!
