Anyone going to try Alli to lose weight??

<p>Has anyone tried the prescription Orlistat and/or is planning to try the new , lower dose OTC version, alli? Unless one is disciplined enough to follow the low fat, low calorie diet (the effect of which will be hastened by the med), sounds like you’d better be prepared for the nasty side effects. The news articles say to wear dark clothing and take an extra set of clothes. I think they <em>politely</em> referred to it as anal discharge, involving all elements (gas, liquid and solid). Oily, smelly, loud, partially uncontrolled discharge. Lovely. I think it works by ruining your appetite with the disgusting description of the side effects!!! I have referred to it a poo goo, or poo ooze to my dh. He shutters whenever I mention what I have been reading. Any daring souls out there???</p>

<p>Not me, and it will soon be in our company store</p>

<p>so “lax” in your name doesn’t refer to laxative? :smiley: I read that it is flying off the shelves in So. Calif.</p>

<p>:) omg…too funny</p>

<p>Sounds like a nice thing for the office! Maybe I can pass it around at the next department meeting.</p>

<p>LOL Mowc!!!</p>
