No weight loss plus I am constipated! ????

[fluffy]

I have been on Xenical now for over a week and have not lost any weight. I have been following a low fat diet and doing a bit of exercise. I have had no side effects either.
I have also been constipated for the past few days. Can someone tell me where Im going wrong and where a weeks worth of fat has went since it aint gone down the toilet!!

Much appreciated.

Well since i've started taking a multi-vit every day plus adding more fibre to my diet I have now started to lose weight. Good tip for anyone out there that has the same symptoms as me.

I have been on orlistat for just over 1 week now and for the 1st 2 days I did have oily "loose" stools, but now I feel constipated and bloated. I am still eating the same foods (low fat) as I was before taking the medication the doctor gave me, but have not been able to go to the toilet properly for the past 5 days.

Can any one help - e-mail me on [e-mail]

Cheers
