first day of taking xenical

[shaz_boo]

hi all, i have just started taking xenical today, im a little worried about the side effects but hopefully this will spur me on to keeping to low fat foods.
i love chocolate so this is going to be my nemesis, but i need to do thisnow.

roughly how quick will you need to get the loo after eating too much fat in your meal?

how long does each episode last,

i have plenty more question but these 2 will do for now.

Hi,
Don't be worried about the side effects as long as you stick to low fat foods you will be ok. But if you eat choclate you are going to get side effects . I find that even putting a little butter on my sandwhich gives me bad side effects and rushing to the toilet. (after about a hour) but im guessing if you ate a fat burger you would be brobley rushing to the toilet after about 20 mins but everybodys body is diffrent. i have been on and off xenical since 2002 so i know how bad the side effects are going to be. but if you stick to lean ham , pitta bread instead of bread lots of salad, pasta, chicken and other low fat foods then you will be fine . good luck and keep me posted on your journey x
