Use pads, large maternity ones, angle them towards the rear of your underwear.
This may sound funny, but believe me, when you accidently soil yourself repeatedly in a day its not. It starts about a couple days in.
Ive been there done that, it really didnt do much for me other than dissuade me from eating fatty foods
Xenical basicly stops your body from absorbing 30% of all fat you eat. This fat will come out as oil.
Good luck with using it. If it doesnt work out though, feel free to ask others how they are doing, dont just give up

I was on xenical for a short period of time. My doctor actually asked me to stop taking it, I cant recall why but he had attended some seminar and decided he wanted me to do it the old fashioned way. Im sorry, not to scare you at all. My health has not been the greatest due to my being diabetic so he didnt want to take chances. Anyways... wishes is definately right that you need to be prepared for the oil that will come out. It can be a little unexpected ( for goodness sakes dont toot) lol.. I too just avoided fatty foods because i didnt want what would happen after. Also, if it gets on your clothing * the oil* the stains dont come out easily, so just be prepared. I hope it works for you.

I've been on Xenical for almost 2 years now. Wishes was right about her recommendations. You can always place a piece of tissue instead. It has worked for me and continue to do so. However, note that this does not promote weight loss, it just prevents you from gaining while eliminating a percentage of your fat comsumption.
Sorry, I don't know anything about Lipodrene, but can you provide me with info about Xenical? I just started taking the tabs last Wednesday. On Saturday, I had my first experience with the oily discharge. It wasn't much because I have been watching my fat intake, about 30% of my diet. My concern is that it happened and I didn't even know about it until I went to the bathroom. After that, so far, it only happened with my bowel movements. Did it take long for this unpleasant experience to disappear for you or does this happen as long as you take the pills?
Goodbye to the drug 'Xenical' !!
Well, it was just too good to be true! I've been on Xenical for just over a week and all was great. No really bad side effects but today I have had the most awful stomach pain and really bad 'running to the loo' I've been at work all day and its been a constant worry that I might not make the toilet in time!!
The problem is I have not eaten anything different, I've been eating my low fat diet now and really enjoying it but today was just awful, I also had really bad headaches.
I've decided that I can do this without Xenical. I work a really difficult full time job and just cannot have this worry again. I will lose weight without it and the pain in my stomach right now is enough to never take another blue pill again!
I wanted to do my treadmill tonight but cant because I feel so sick, so I shall just ride it out and hopefully tomorrow my life will be back to normal.

Hi Lilly...I have been on Xenical for a month...this is the second time. I lost 5 stone the first time!! Put a bit of weight back on over a year..but not all of it. I can honestly say I have never had the problems that you describe..however I did learn early on what I can & cannot eat...a little naughtiness results in embarrassing flatulence for me but nothing more serious. When it happens I can nearly always pinpoint where I went wrong and its the 'hidden' fats in processed foods you need to watch..also you need to combine the fat you do consume in a meal which has plenty of dietary fibre. If you have a lot of weight to lose it can help and does have its place. If you need support or dietary advice I'll be happy to help!! I also work ..and as a Community Carer so am often no where near a suitable loo so it can be done!!
Wow, you have done so well!! I know what you are saying, I think the problem was i did it for over a week with no bad side effects and thought I got it right and then suddenly, at work it was just awful!!! Today I am feeling much better no orange oil
I'm going to give it a few weeks and miss out the pills and see how I go, with or without them I've changed my diet so much over the last 2 weeks, but I would love to be able to take them so I could lose weight quicker!!!!!! I have a lot to lose!saintjilly

Good for you if you can 'go it alone' and keep to the low fat foods etc...I find that for me personally they help because they really do keep me in check...if I behave all will be well..if not..well you know the answer to that one!! The fear of what has happened to others happening to me is enough to keep me good!! the trouble is I'm a terrible 'picker' especially when preparing food for others...with these tablets i 'don't'..I daren't. I also have a long long way to go and I know that it takes more than a couple of weeks to truly ingrain good habits..after all we were eating badly for a long time to get this size..it didn't happen overnight.
Best of Luck..this forum is terrific..loads of help, tips, support...

Hi Lilly,
Have you looked into natural ways to curb your appetite? Things like Green tea, or Hoodia, or things like that?
Just curious.... some people have found then to be helpful to just help supress the appetite enough for them not to "give in" to bad eating or over eating.
I like green tea myself. Drink it during the day, but stop by mid afternoon so I am not awake all night
anyway, thought I would ask as prescription meds can and often do have bad side effects.....
take care,
Diane

Okay so ive been reading this thread and i still have some blue pills left... I'm just really scared to use them again because of all the horrble side effects i used to get... mainly the running to the loo all the time!
I do however have a lot too lose... if i'm careful with them is it a good weightloss trick?

I was on Xenical for a month or two and I lost thirty pounds, but after going off of it I gained forty pounds back. I was down to 275, which I will be down to by June, just by eating healthier and exercising, which I wasn't before. I thought the xenical was awesome, but I am still trying to work off the Xenical weight.
I am on metformin and it seems to work... every one pound to .5 oz a week I lose is good for me. Its slow results, but after using it I won't gain all the weight back .. it only works if you exercise, otherwise you don't lose weight on metformin. I was given metformin because I was becoming type two diabetic ... not a great reason to end up on it ...but it is helping out in the weight loss project, but I don't take as much as I am supposed to, because I don't want a repeat of what happened with the Xenical ..
so becareful ...I think the best way to lose weight is by a diet, or lifestyle change and and plenty of exercise ...
best wishes

Why did i know you were going to turn around and tell me that?? haha
I've been eating healthy now for about a week and a half and i haven't seen anything! It's just that depressing feeling of not seeng any results.. if you know what i mean? Maybe i should start taking Xenical for about 2 weeks... start seeing myself loose weight and then go for it properly! hahah i dunno... all i know is that this weight loss thing sucks!

* Side effects. The most substantial reason why prescription weight loss pills yield to no prescription natural weight loss supplements. Of course, safety of even all natural diet pills not always agrees with its advertisement, but prescription pills contain unnatural stimulants, so the side effects should be learned.
Orlistat’s side effects include intestinal discomfort, diarrhea. Those effects are more likely to appear if consuming food rich in fat. Also Xenical is recommended to combine with vitamins consumption, as it decreases vitamins absorption into our body.

Pinky..you should not take Xenical unless your Dr is monitoring you. As I explained earlier in the thread-this is my second stint on it & it does work. It is not however a magic wand which many people assume...you have to combine taking the drug with a good diet & get exercise. It helps me because it ensures that I limit the fatty foods in my diet & control my 'portion size'. You should not put back on the weight lost with it if you continue the healthy eating after you stop the tablets. They are not an appetite suppressant so you also still need will power.
