Hi,

I wonder if you might be able to help me.

My Doctor prescribed me with Xenical today, I am the first patient he has prescribed it for!!!........and he said he only did it because the risks posed by my wieght (250lbs) seemed to outweigh the risks of taking the Xenical.

Anyway, my question is what measures should I be taking while on Xenical. He advised I stick to 1200 cals, which should consist of 30% fat. I thought that so much fat in a diet was completely unhealthy. As I work out at the gym 5-6 days per week for 1 hour per day, I asked if I should be on a higher cal intake, he said I should just stick to the 1200. So......are there any foods I should avoid, are there any I should def. be taking are there warning signs to look out for etc etc.

I've also been taking Phen for a while and now put on to Diethylpropion Hydrochloride ( I think this is also known as Tenuate). Do any of you know if it is ok to take both.

I'd really love to hear from you.

Thank you.
