I lost 3 stones taking Reds, but have now gained back 1 stone and feel more bigger than before i lost the 3 stone. My Doctor has given me Xenical, i took some but started getting tummy problems that i knew i would get. The thing is it is hard I am to worried to carry on as i can not afford to stay in the loo alll the time.. I have started a low fat diet but this is still happening, the loo visits !!!
What have you guys felt about these tabs ?
Any advice would be great. Hope to hear from any old friends.. take care niyra xx
hey peeps I was just browsing the posts and saw this and thought Id try and offer my support to you Niyra. firstly, well done on your achievements so far, dont be hard on yourself - you have to find something that is going to work for you and make you happy. Have you read all the posts on Xenical as it seems that the diet and any sorts of fats really do affect the toilet patterns.
Im not on any weight loss medication, so I cant really comment on them. But I can offer you help, advice on healthy eating, exercise and generally be a port of call. Fi
Hi Niyra, I know what you mean, it's been very difficult to switch from reds to xenical. I'd been taking Reds since January having never been able to lose weight before. I was so scared of putting it back on I turned to xenical. I've been taking it for a few weeks now, and just had one accident early on. I became very strict with my diet, so that it didn;t happen again. I was literally terrified! I'm now wondering if I can manage without them, so I've stopped taking xenical. I'll see if the weight loss continues with the healthy eating. I've now lost 25lbs, which really is a huge achievement for me! But my advice really is to be very strict with yourself! I also started taking Chromium tablets which help to curb sweet cravings. It may be psychosomatic, but I think it's helped. You can get them from the health food shops. Hope this helps! Let us know how you're getting on. There are some good recipes on this forum too, so they might help inspire you.. WA
