Hi, when the doc said about these tablets i thought great i am going to loose some weight here but i have been on these for roughly 5 weeks now and i am sad to say there has been no difference, when i went back to doc she kinda was like eeehh have you been having sweeties or junk but i havent so now i feel like running and dont want to go back. Without being horrible, i am still experiencing the orange when going to the bathroom, no excess rush or wind or anything. hopefully something will start to hapen.

    Hi chick,

    How demoralising for u....try and keep positive for a bit longer. Maybe the tablets are taking time to \"kick in\".

    The orange oil it USUALLY due to fat content in ur foodstuffs. However, the tablets can react differently with different people.

    Keep the faith for the moment even thought its hard.
