Yellow Oily Discharge??? WTF?

[vexed]

Hi. I've been taking Alli for about 3 months so far and I'm down to 224 from 250. I was down to 221 a few days ago but I ate a bunch of garbage on the weekend.

Anyway, I've lost all of the weight and had no side effects during the entire time. I'd still eat normal, cheeseburgers, fries, pizza, etc. etc. only I'd simply eat less of it and less frequently (I eat a lot of healthy stuff, salads, baked chicken etc. but I haven't really "dieted".

Today I came home and noticed yellow oily discharge for the first time. I don't know if this happened at the restaurant or on the way home (God, I dread to think that it happened at the restaurant!) I've never had this happen before. Maybe it's the junk I've been eating in the last few days. I know a lot of you won't agree or condone this but I got really stoned over the weekend and munched and munched on garbage. I gained 3 pounds as a result and TRUST ME, I've learn my lesson about smoking and trying to diet! It's not remotely close to being worth it and gaining an extra 3 pounds!

Regardless, I'm a bit worried. I wear kackie pants to work! I'm scared now! I was wondering if anyone had any idea why this happened after 3 months of being on Alli and never before. And it's been three full days since I've eaten garbage! Why now? And should I expect this in the future??

I did eat a lot of olive oil during dinner. God I hope it didn't happen at the restaurant!

I just started taking Alli like 2 days ago, and I havent changed my diet at all. I had steak, corn on the cob and baked potato for dinner tonight, then felt like I had to (pass gas) which I did and WOOPS had to run straight to the bathroom. My underwear were bright orange) I went to the bathroom and looked at the toliet and it looked like someone had poured orange olive oil into it. Soo weird and creepy. I was freaking out, until I read a few websites about the side effects and apparently its normal if you eat to much fatty substances in one meal. I dont know if im going to stop Alli or not but I know Im not ok with that **** coming out of me haha. I wish the booklets it came with described the so called "treatmeant symptoms" a little better. All it says in the booklet is you may have lose stools and oily gas. As to why you didnt get the symptoms until after a few months I can't say, but I just wanted to respond so you'd know its normal. (but very sucky) kinda forces you to go on a better diet.

I have had similar experiences but I have to say when I changed my diet it stopped but if I have a bad day then i have to be prepared. If i know in davance its a bad day i.e a wedding birthday etc then I stopped Alli 2 days before. Tried and tested it works 1 day before didn't saw me sprinting across tables to avoid an accident not a good look!
