I remember the tv commercial....frequent bowel movements and the inability to control them, and seepage was a problem too!


SCARED me away!
They said on the news this morning that it would cost the average user between $12-$25 a week to use "Allie" (the over the counter name of Xenical) and have soiled underwear.

I dont think it is worth it with those side effects!!!!

My mother-in-law tried this a few years ago. She said it was absolutely disgusting. Granted, in the beginning they tell you to expect the nasty, but she thought it was get better - it didn't. She said she had TERRIBLE gas as well as many other embarassing side effects.

You just have to know how to use it is all. I think people use it as a ticket to eat big fattening meals. Then they are in for a surprise! It's not for that. It's to use with moderate fat and then you don't have a problem.

JBean - Can you describe what is a moderate fat? I'm not trying to be smart. I am curious how you use it, like with what type of meal. :)

I think the key is to cutting down on the fattening stuff BEFORE you start taking this stuff. Not to be totally disgusting, but she said it was like pouring oil in water (and we all know how that looks) - although she said it was orange. :eek: :hand: She was used to eating very unhealthy and then began a diet and started taking the medicine. She suffered from serious leakage/drainage too and ruined many a clothes. Nope, this stuff is not for me. :hand:

Yes, I have a friend who discovered, while standing in Walmart, that the warnings are true. For those of you who are blissfully unaware, I'll just tell you that the warnings include the words ANAL LEAKAGE. My poor friend!

I think I saw her! Or at least someone taking the same medication. Musta been her first time cuz she had on tan pants. My son and his friend laughed for days after seeing that.

It's a shame. You loose weight to be more attractive. Then you rip out a ferocious fart with fecal debris...

Thought for the day...wear brown pants.

Well, this medication is going to be great for Depends sales! It's amazing what we'll go through to avoid exercise and eating right (myself included). I was thinking about checking this drug out, but I think I'll PASS - LOL!

I think the diahrrea this drug causes should be viewed as a very apt reminder of just how much fat that indivdiual has made a part of their daily diet.

That is EXACTLY right! If one has eaten a meal that includes moderate amounts of fat, and included fiber, one will NEVER have this side effect!

It's just some people want to eat all sorts of fatty foods and use this pill so as not to absorb the fat and they never stop to think that fat has to go somewhere!

My poor friend had been warned! She knew not to eat loads of fatty foods, but she never thought the result of eating pizza and cheesecake would be so loud, visible and PUBLIC!

This is what works for me too. There are times I will gain 4 or 5 lbs. (like over the Holidays), but then I cut way, way back on sweets and high calorie foods until I get back to my usual weight. Excercise is a must for me because it makes me feel good about myself and it also gives me energy for the rest of the day. If I don't exercise, then I don't accomplish very much that day.

I can tell you specifically when I use it. I love a cheeseburger 3 to 5 times a year. The cheese and the burger are much fattier thatn I usually eat, so I take one whenever I eat that. I have no problems..cuz trust me I wouldn't take it if I did. Also, if i go out to eat and cannot be sure how the food is prepared I take one.

The problem that is happening with the people that are leaking:eek: is that they are consuming far far far too much fat in the first place. They think heck I will eat this fattymeal and get rid of it with a xenical OOPPSS!!

If you want to use them for weight loss, you eat a low to moderate fat diet and supplement with the xenical to cut the fat content down bit more. If you are on a diet you shouldn't be eating fatty meals in the first place ! I can say to the people that have "problems" they are busted! because they must be cheating on their diet!

I know many people that supplement xenical with a low fat diet and they just get a little extra boost. But since they don;t cheat on their diet they don't have the side effects.

Honestly it seems like outright dieting and denying yourself fatty food would be less trouble than this pill.
