First few days

I always said I would never 'do' Xenical due to the side effects but needed help fast. I am a yo yo dieter and have 3 weight losses of 7 stone in my past. But I love my food and eat too much of it!
Anyway I started xenical a few days ago, I have a few queries (my doctor is rubbish!)
Doctor told me to start on one a day and build up slowly to avoid effects. I started on two a day, have a low fat diet. some side effects but no incontinence! Bloating is dreadful though.
I wonder if the side effects are short term for only the start or last throughout duration of taking tablet.
I am only taking two a day, should I be taking three? - I often skip breakfast - do i not need a meal with each tablet? - or would you guys recommend I take it regardless...
also heard of MAP on forums but no idea what this is!
hope you expert users can help with these queries
I want to lose 5 stone 1st may - end September !!!
