Hey, just joined this forum as could do with some advice. I was prescribed xenical by my docter before xmas lost a stone on it. Came off it for 2 months and ave just restarted a week or so ago. Ive been doing slimming world at same time too, not lost a pound and been extremely constipated which i didnt think was possible on these tablets. Not sure whats going on, ive exercised loads to. Any advice. I dont have much to lose i want to lose about 2 stone. But its a battle. Be grateful for any wise words.
Hmm I'm not sure hun - I do Sw and take the xen tablets - are you following Sw 100% - bc if you are you should be loosing regardless of xen - xen just helps to boost your losses?! Do you go to group? Could you get your food looked at?!
Constipation could be the reason have you tried taking a senna - lots of people report constipation me being one of them!!
Also exercise sometimes makes you retain water for up to 5weeks that could be the issues also. The biggest thing I can advise is stick with it it will fall off eventually.
All of us go through sticky periods! maybe someone else will have some better advice :s xxx
If you having constipation issues try some aloe Vera juice cranberry flavour 25ml twice a day as it really helps and is a long term solution, as I find the tablets block me up! Google it and make you own mind up
im no more advisory on the constipation than the others, although i take a probiotic multivitiman and green tea tablets, and it works for me..
its a case of mixing things up and see what works for you..
also if you are doing SW are you having all your B choice??? as its the fibre section of your diet, so it might help you out making sure you get all of the choice you chose.

Hi there, I too am experiencing the same problem also doing sw at the same time and the only thing i can think of is that my meals arent containing enough fat+ fibre... ive only been on xen since friday so am very new to this side of things but have lost over 3 stone with sw! maybe have a good fruit salad with plums, oranges etc to try and get things moving, good luck
