: : I started on Xenical yesterday lunchtime, and so far have had four capsules (lunch, dinner, breakfast, lunch).
: : Already I'm finding I'm becoming rather... um... regular.
: : Anyway, yesterday on the doc's scales I was 108kg (approx 17 stones). I need to get down to about 80kg (about 12.5 stones). I'll post back here in a few weeks and let you know how effective I'm finding it.

: I understand that a low fat diet is also required. the more fat in you diet, the more regular you are.

I took it for one month without changing my eating habits and I experienced some of the less desireable side effects you mention. I'm using it for my second month and eating more sensibly, and have had no side effects whatsoever. I haven't weighed, but I know I've lost some weight or inches because my clothes fit better.
