Alli for Weight Loss

[PrincessKsMom]

NOOOOOO!!!!!! PUT DOWN THAT POPCORN IF YOU'VE HAD ALLI RECENTLY!

you don't actually crap your pants, orange oil come out of your butt... it looks like pizza oil. but it doesn't happen if you follow the plan.. so really what Alli does is punish you for eating poorly with butt pizza oil. I didn't follow the plan.... hence how i know about butt pizza oil. I don't take it anymore lol Sorry for the TMI. Butt ( get it 2 t's) its better you find out from someone else then have a butt pizza oil attack at work or something.

Oh my gosh. I was just laughing so hard my 8 year old son kept asking me what was so funny. I finally had to tell him about the butt pizza oil. He then told my 9 year old, and now we all can't stop laughing.

I don't like being fat, but this is so not worth it!

This is exactly it.

If you're overweight from overeating, you will lose weight through being conditioned to eat better.

If you're overweight from medications or lack of exercise, it does absolutely nothing.

I found that if you follow the directions exactly and watch the fat intake then it works. It's when I did not follow the the fat intake properly the gross side effects came.

This is tooooooo funny. Keep the stories coming.

This thread is too funny!

I was thinking about reading up on Alli and possibly starting it. I'm seriously having second thoughts now.

I work for an 89 year old man. It would be a shame if I had to ask him if I could borrow one of his diapers.

Too Funny. I have tears in my eyes. I am sorry for those that fell victim to the side effects.

Just to let everyone know.. butt pizza oil stories are not taken as well when told in real life. After i posted my story I shared it with a co-worker feeling confident in its humor... yeah... didn't go so well.. so from now on I'm only sharing stories about gross side effects on the board.

The only wake up call is this... if you eat fast food and are not on Alli... you still have that gross oily stuff... inside your small intestine and entering all your cells. So I think it is a great reminder how awful fat consumption is for the human body.

Alli is way to harsh...Try ADVOCARE it is a much better system. They have great products.

Yep - the "pizza oil" side effect mentioned here is TRUE - but on a MUCH MORE SERIOUS note............. I got really really sick and ultimately had my gall bladder removed - NOT due to anything Alli related, ( I think) BUT, the Dr. was VERY curious as to WHY my liver IS enlarged.............. once I told him I'd been taking Alli - he said to STOP IMMEDIATELY. So, of course I did - apparently this is a "problem" with Alli. Here are a couple of links to this story -which I had NO clue was an issue before going in for surgery.

So, anyway, I'd advise anyone considering taking Alli - to be aware!!!

Wow, all kidding aside, I'm really sorry to hear it's caused you so much trouble. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

Absolutely. That is one of the reasons I stick to my nutrional cleansing program even though I have lost the weight I needed to lose. The program I use removes toxins from the body and also replaces essential nutrition. It is not a colon cleanse and has none of the nasty side effects.

I would love to share witha anyone who is interested - just send me a PM.

My doctor tried to get me to take this a while ago. I asked about the side effects. He told me what some of the other posters mentioned. He said I should probably take a week off from work to see how my system adjusts. I said, "So you think crapping in my pants all day sounds more appealing than being fat?" He was stunned at my reaction, but agreed it might not be the best route for me. Ya think?

 

[here757]

this used to be avail as a prescription.. called xenical..
boy it worked for me. i was so scared of the pizza but that i never ate anything fattening.. LOL

i went off it when i found out i was preggo.. right after i had the baby i had my gallbladder removed..

there was something about not having a gallbladder in that made the medication not work the second time .

Only a fellow DISer could appreciate the humor of butt pizza oil...what's the matter with you co-worker? Oh, I know they do not belong to the DIS boards!

My friend said the slogan should be
EVEN IF YOU DON'T LOSE WEIGHT YOU'LL STILL NEED TO BUY NEW PANTS
