Re: Zenacal or Meridia?

Please tell me how to Detox? Thank you so much for what you said

below. You are so right!!! I need someone to verbalize these things

to me. I know them but I don't listen to myself. I need someone to

say it to me. I know this sounds silly but, I really have no one to

talk to about these things. This group is the only support I have.

Thanks!

A long time ago my Dr. wanted to put me on Zenacal when it first came out. He

did, however, told me of the side effects that this can cause. First off, this

is a fat blocker so if you eat anything that has fat in it, you will malabsorb

it....this will cause you to have greasy stools. You may also when passing gas,

tend to have a 'greasy skid mark' so just in case you want to deal with this, I

would try something else. Also, how far out are you and what types of protein

shakes do you use and what kinds of meals are you eating? Just wanting to help.

Zenacal or Meridia?

Help!! I am on my way up in weight gain..+20 lbs. My doctor is

recomending zenacal (fat blocker) or meridia. Does anyone have any

experiences with these drugs after surgery? Can they be harmful?

Can we absorm them? Any info or advice will be greatly appreciated!

I am one of those unlucky ones that never acheived goal. I was

within 25 lbs of it however. Now I have gained another 20 lbs. My

problem is that I graze all day. I know what I need to do but

because of the stresses in my life I have yet to accomplish a routine

of 3 meals a day of protein first. I do drink my suppliments

faithfully. Please help me! I am out of control.

Thanks

I eat alot of carbs. I eat a lot of breads. They go down easy. I

don't eat a lot at meal time. I get full fast. I can eat sweets,

afterwords I feel sickish but not enough to learn not to eat them. I

just put up with it. I really do know what to do. I just need to do

it. I think I need to detox?? per the last response I got. And then

try to start over, and put into practice what I learned when I first

had the surgery. Thanks for your help!
