Other meds w/ met.
Just thought I'd drop by to update my post. I went to me Dr. and she upped my met. dosage to 1500mg. I don't know if it is coincidence or due to the change, but I have been having a very upset tummy since then. I've even lost 3-4 pounds in the last 6 days.
As for the "other" medication, the doc says that I can take Xenical and gave me a script. I had it filled, too, but I don't want to introduce anything that can upset my stomach even further than it currently is, so I haven't taken even one, yet.
I also have some concerns as to it's effectiveness for me in particular due to the fact that it is a fat blocker and prohibits up to 30% of dietary fat from being digested. If I go "all the way" on this WOE, I will be eating lots of fat, and not much carbs - which is contradictory to the way this medicine is supposed to be taken. (Low-fat, high carb). Or, will it work even better because I will be in keytosis, AND getting rid of a large percentage of the fat I'm consuming at the same time.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INSIGHT ON THESE CONCERNS?
Thanks for your support,
-Elizabeth
