MAJOR CONCERN!!!

[sani77]

Hi All!!

I'm a new member to this forum but i've been reading this forum for quite a while. I have had almost all the side effects that anybody else on this farum has had...i had severe constipation and i was admitted to the hospital. Then, i stopped taking phen. for 3 weeks and now started it again hoping that this time therez less hassle and side effects. Now, i'm on it since a week and a half. I'm just noticing that my stomach feels really flabby, loose...like, it's not toned at all, like reaaallly saggy...i donno if it's a side effect or wut but one of my frends(who took phen for 4 months) told me that that's a major effect of phen. coz u dont eat much when ur on it and it makes u lose weight bcoz of hunger which makes the fat on ur belly sag or bcome lose and when it does make u lose weight, u WILL lose all the weight u can lose but u'll be stuck with a saggy/flabby stomach...for which u have to get a tummy tuck or some kinda surgery to make ur tummy look at least a lil' flat.....i was wondering if anyone has heard this and wut do u all think about it and has anyone experienced it or NOT experienced it....will be waiting for ur replies...Thanks a LOT!!

Hi! I have NEVER heard of that, and I haven't read of that side effect on any of the other sites. I think , that its the same with any weight loss plan , when you loose a LOT of weight rapidly, your fat will become flab unless you are working out. I would try and do some ab friming exercises while on your diet to build some muscle. I have been on Phen for 6 weeks now and lost 16 lbs, my tummy had gone down, but its still pretty firm. I have been working out on the elliptical and some ab work. Have you been working out at all??

I think that is rediculous. If you are severly obess and you loose a lot of weight that can happen period regardless of how you loose the weight. My stomach always got FLAT on Phentermine.

BUT Take extra care to not get constipated. I drink a Chocolate Slim Fast every morning and put benifiber in my drinks/sprinkle on food and sometimes will take a stool SOFTNER....and drink a LOT of water.Phentermine does make you consitpated which is NOT good.
