Has anyone tried the hcg diet pre op? I thought it was pretty good pre op because you have to get used to eating small portions

I have done the HCG diet 2x and it is a challenge! I lost about 15lbs fairly quickly on it but then stalled. The second time I did it I didn't lose more than 4 or 5 lbs so I couldn't stay on it the full round. I tried to do daily walks the 2nd time and I found I just got too hungry! What the Hcg plan taught me is that food is way more enjoyable when you are hungry. I would savor my chicken and greens with a 2 tbsp of salsa like no other meal and it is still one of my favorites. It also can be very satisfying to eat an apple and strawberries at the end of the day can taste just like candy! However, I do believe it messed up my metabolism and I quickly put on the weight I lost plus 10-15lbs in the few months following. Of course, I wasn't going in for a sleeve after the HCG diet so that may make a difference. the first time I did the diet I did the drops which I think contained an appetite suppressant so I recommend that over the shots. The shots are supposed to be the "real" hormone but there really isn't enough proof that it has an effect on weight loss and I was much hungrier doing the shots then the drops. Good luck!
