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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
