Prescription Orlistat..... Nothing happening? Vegetarian

Desperate for answers........
So eager to drop the weight........
Been a vegetarian all my life - gave up smoking 3 years ago and weight started to increase singificantly......
Just wondered has anyone else experienced NO effect from taking Orlistat?
I have been taking Orlistat for 8 days now.... and nothing appears to be happening other than making me more 'regular'.... Before I would say I had a touch of IBS - going a substantial amount of times per day.... But now - once maybe twice a days max....
I am a vegetarian - do you think this has had an impact?
I am going for review to GP in 2 weeks... fingers crossed something has started happening!
Help!.....

I was like you, but started to notice that my clothes were getting a little loose just before I went to be weighed and low & behold I'd lost 8kg. Am now anxious to get back on the scales (it's been 5 weeks)
Good luck with it!

I have also been veggi for years and can confirm that Orlistat does work. But I do go for days with no apparent effects. However, I have lost 1.5stn in under a mth so something is working.
Keep at it!

Coming up to 3 weeks on Orlistat now - review at GP next week for weigh in... fingers crossed....
Feeling good on them - with little side effects.... (had one oily experience when I ate home made Roasted Veg Lasagne - think cheese sauce was a little too rich.... so nasty side effects appear to occur when overdoing the saturated fats.... )
Good luck to one and all
