Hi, I'm new here and also new taking Xenical. I'm taking for 5 days and still no bad side effects, just loads of gas and today after eat a lasagna I'm having a bit of cramp and some bathroom run but nothing bad. My question is: since i didn't have any bad side effects it means that xenical is not working? I definitely need to loose weight I'm 5'1 and 12st which is a lot, to be honest this medication is my last hope since nothing works for me. If someone could give me some advice I'd be grateful. Thanks

    Lasagne - no! not unless it's homemade and fat restricted.

    You may get away with it once but I wouldn't like your chances of a regular intake of such fare.

      I weighted myself today and i didn't lose any kilo... I guess I'm not doing a proper diet, had a few orange oil for a few days but now it's gone. Gonna start eating better cause otherwise it won't work. Thanks for your reply
