Can I ask why you chose the HCG diet? Is it through a clinic, or is it supervised by your primary care physician? Just curious.

Hi,

@@Jenjen2016 I used hcg through a doctor office, it was the only diet I lost my max weight but, how long will you do it for? You can only do it 40 days at a time. I found The more i repeat it The harder it was for me to stick with & get the results. The last time I did it for only 6 weeks & they gave me a letter to help with my case. I'm actually getting nutrisystem in the meantime, while i do the 3mth nutritional visits

Blessings!

Hi! Yes, I am doing the 40 day program; however, the plus side is I can visit every 2-3 weeks to continue having my weight and inches checked and they would basically be follow ups. I'm also planning to continue going in for Lipo-B shots after completion of the HCG. I will be required to keep a journal of all the food I consume so that will help too.

I started the supervised HCG diet today to meet the 6 month requirement for ins. Has anyone tried this program?

I would work with a Bariatric Nutritionist on learning to eat post surgery. This is the time to change habits and deal with emotional eating. I worked with my Bariatric Team during this time to eat healthy and how I'll need to eat after WLS. I don't think you need a specific program.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
