Hi, everyone- I am a user of phentermine for 1 year now and now I am taking xenical- but having no luck. Is there anybody out there who knows much about this med?

Hi. I've been on Xenical for about 5 weeks now. For the first two weeks, I was taking Xenical only. Now I take it along with Phen. The first two weeks I only lost 2 pounds. My problem was that I needed an appetite suppressant. The combination has worked well for me. I really only take the Xenical if I know the meal will contain a lot of fat (5 grams or more). I lost about nine pounds in two weeks with the combo (it would have been more if I didn't go away with my girlfriends to the beach for a weekend! I gained back 5 pounds while I was away! :eek: ).
Anyway, if you have any questions, post another question or send me an instant message.

I have atleast 4 months of Xenical left, cause I got a whole lot of it. I lost 12 pounds from it, but didn't feel the same way I did 7 years ago, on phen-fen, and I stopped Xenical, and started Phen. I'm not eating enough to restart Xenical, but if the two work well together, I think I'll try it. Go to the Xenical S I T E, and sign up for their nutritionist. She will send you the best email's: on what to eat, she sent me atleast 40 pages of food ideas for all meals and snacks. I didn't stay on the Xenical diet, though. I didn't loose weight immediately on it, it took about 3 weeks. I tried to stick with an exercise, walking, but it didn't work during the rains.
I didn't realize the two meds work so well together. How do you eat enough on Phen to sustain, and justify taking Xenical? Maybe I'm just not ready to eat good, but it will come soon.
