HCG diet and sleeve



Recommended Posts

No reply. But I wanted to once again say hcg did work for me 6 years ago went from 246 to 199 after 2 rounds. Tried again last year did 2 rounds got to 230s. But after a few months of chgd eating. Sticking with more natural foods adding good fats back in and I still slowly gained to my highest weight of 267. I am still eating well. Cut my portions and am excercising. Lost 12 pounds on preop diet. But really need to lose 100 more. So this is better option for me long term. Oh and I have met many many people who have regained on hcg who have stuck to proticol. If you only have 50 or less pounds to lose hcg is great option. Although my Dr. Kept telling me it wasn't healthy for me. I also have many comorbidities and need knee surgery. Got to get this weight off. I am more 56 and want a long life.

I was down 109 lbs (338 to 229) in 5 months just doing pistol diet. I wouldn't combine 2 diets without talking to nutritionist

I had to join jus tYes I o know it an old post. But, people search all day and weight loss is always something tha has new trends. Therefore, I wanted to make sure people that findthis post withh all this negativity will know that when done properly HCG is amazing. I hae not worked with anyone on this protocol that has regained. Youtube HCGchica and you will see the hundreds that has years of aucceas on that protocol. Im on it again to get done to 135 im already halfway there ànd jus startedthe roun. This protocol ia more mental than anything. Will power equals successo reply. There are thousands of people post vsg that has started gaining after just one year post op. The HCG dud like any diet if not done properly you will gain. Phase 3 is the most important you cards low cayes, ilories it gives list of foods you may add. It say it takes 21 full days for that stuff to be completely out of your system if not you will gain a ton. Most people that has regained from it I'm sure did not follow the last two phases completely. I lost 30 pounds and it never came back it's been years. I also did drops from Walmart . It's your opinion. But, to let you know it's FDA approved and 100% safe. You have to change your way of thinking to be successful on any life change. It works but you have to do it completely I did 30 days followed by 21 days of low calories low carbs only using required foods. Don't cheat yourself.

You do know that you are responding to a post from 2010, right?
I appreciate your input. I am also familiar with Hcg Chica. My curiosity lies in if you can do this during your post op liquids even for just 23 days. I wad thinking it may be a good Idea especially since it uses your stored fat as energy. Or is it best to just go by doctors orders.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
