I am a sleever. I have used HCG and lost 14 lbs. in 23 days. My Sis lost 17 in 23. Most people lose 1-2 pounds per day. The diet is based on a manuscript written by Dr. Simeon many years ago. It does work but you have to be very strict about following the program and also food combinations. I have to admit that I did cheat while on the program and that is why my weight loss was low but one of the best things about it is you don't feel hungry. Feel free to PM me if you want more info.
OK.... I just completed my 3rd week post op and I only lost one lb this week. What's up with this. I'm still on liquids and no more than 400-500 cals. at best each day. Tons of Water... way more than 60 oz per day and I do get my 60 grams of Protein via Protein drinks.
Here is my weight loss:
Pre-Op 7 lbs
Post Op Week 1, 6.5 lbs
Post Op Week 2, 3 lbs
Post Op Week 3, 1 lbs
Has any one else had low numbers like this.... I'm still glad I had the surgery but I've read of avg. weight loss for first month post op being in the 20's and i'm going to do good to make the teens. I concerned that my body is getting use to the low cal intake and is OK with it. I have a very low metabolic rate and hypothyroid. I mean can you imagine other than surgery week... (water & broth) i've only lost 4 lbs in two weeks on liquids. that just seems crazy to me.
Advise please....
