I'm not sure what is going on.  When using the restroom.  I'm not sure if it is the Fat that I'm seeing but flowing in the water. Has anyone else noticed?

 Hi:

  I am on my 4th week and down 6lbs.From what I have been told and have read if it's orange oily like circles...then yes it's excess fat. The experts say once your body is adjusted the oil will bind with your feces. Gross, I think not as personally I like seeing the oil as proof that fat is being flushed away and not attaching to my thighs. GOOD LUCK!

 mccauley  Thank you for your reply. Once seeing this I thought about it being the fat. Thought I would ask to make sure. Again Thank you!

Yes, this response can vary with each person -- and it can vary with the food you eat.  Some people have reported green, yellow or red oil and that because of specific foods.

Whether or not we're on alli there's  very small portion of dietary fat that goes undigested.  That generally goes into the feces in the large intestine just before excretion and we never know.  Once you're more adjusted to the capsules you're likely not to see the oil.  Don't worry, the capsules are always working.

Please let me know if you need anything else.

 Oh, my goodness..this made me laugh so hard! Just this afternoon I asked my friend if she had stopped getting the 'pizza grease' when going potty, and she said yes..and i said 'is it sad that im dissapointed its gone? i felt like my pottys were so productive!!' im glad to know though that its still working even though i dont see it!!i was worried there for a second,since i weighed myself today and am down 9 pounds in 13 days!

Glad you had a chuckle from this.  It is kinda funny when you stop and think about it.  Anyway, it sound like you're doing a great job; just be sure you're having the recommended amount of calories and fat for your level.

Good luck with the Program!
