Hi everyone. 

I started today with Orlistat (Xenical) and so far no horrible side-effects that I read about. But, that must be because I'm following a low fat diet. I'm a bit nervous that it might not work. I see a lot of people on here with amazing results, yet I see some that had no results after the first week. How long does it usually take before you can see any results? Also, does anyone know what I may drink? At the moment I only drink water because I'm too afraid of anything else causing a slip-up. I loveee Ice Tea, is it possible to drink that or must I stick to water? Any tips on drinks or juice or something would be appreciated. Thanks smile

    Hiya. It takes a week to get into yr system. You can drink anything as long as it's not high in fat as in hot chocolate with cream!!?? Just watch yr fat be below 5g per 100g and no more than 15g per meal and it will drop off. Good luck xx
