I started Xenical (the double strength version of Alli froom docs) this week too. I already had them in the cupboard but never really took them because I had some heart problems and have a heart condition now so didn't know if I was allowed them or not. I asked my cardiologist the other week and my GP on MOnday about it and they both said that as I am already losing weight on WW and following a pretty low fat diet the Xenical wouldn't do alot to my weight loss but it could help to keep me on track and as long as I kept losing weight they would both be happy for me to start taking them again. I've to go back to the doc in 12 weeks and she will weight me again to see if it's worthwhile me staying on them. I haven't had any nasty side effects which is the point really as you shouldn't be getting any if you eat the right things, it's only if you eat something you shouldn't that you get the side effects so the doc told me to skip a pill if I know that I will be eating something fatty as a one off say for a special occasion ect.
Even though I know it will be more of a placebo effect with the weight loss it def has helped me with my food choices and staying on track this week so far.
I will keep you posted on my weight loss at my weigh in this Mon night.
