Hi!

I am looking for a little advice with a few of the issues that have arisen since

starting HCG.

Im Sheila. My husband & I started our journey Saturday the 24th with a strong 2

day load (boy that was fun!)

We are dosing 125iu prescription Corion from AllDayChemist intramuscularly. We

are hoping to complete 40 injection days, as well as a properly followed p3 & p4.

1st issue: The injections themselves dont hurt going in but my thighs feel like

pin cushions! Man are they sore... I alternate quads & try to inject into the

least sensitive spot on the top of my thighs. I am afraid to inject into arms or

hamstrings and risk hitting a nerve...we are using 29 gauge 1/2 " Walgreens

insulin syringes.

We are R1,P2,VLCD12

I have lost 7 pounds from my preload weight, has lost 10.

(I gained 3 pounds with the load, gained 10) Is this good?

I started at 160 and now I am at 153. I am very strong and muscular with a

medium frame @ 5'4 " . is large, 6'2 " , looks like a line backer & started at

265.

The 2nd and main issue is the way we feel.

The elation that we feel every morning after stepping on the scale is quickly

averted when the fatigue hits.

Only speaking for myself, I can tell you all without exaggeration that I have

NEVER felt worse in my life. I have trouble getting out of bed. My muscles feel

like they are in complete atrophy and it hurts to walk up the stairs. I feel

totally depleted of both physical and even mental energy. I feel literally dizzy

and I almost fell at work. This is not only a problem because of daily life with

2 kids but also because I teach fitness during the day and bar tend 2 nights a

weeks. Any suggestions?

Last night I even " cheated " and ate an extra apple, a container of nonfat Fage

yogurt and had 2 extra melba toasts to see if this would help with today. To be

honest so far it has helped and its 10 am. I already taught a class and normally

I would be so depleted that I couldn't even make it into the bath.

Last nights " cheat " brought me up to 700 calories. I did not gain this morning.

Is this a viable option for me? I mean to up the calories a bit?

The last issue is my digestive system.

I only go number 2 about every 3 days & when I do its very hard and very little.

Its making me crabby! I also have this LOUD growling in my stomach that is

downright embarrassing!

(I know, TMI!) Anyway, in order to even " go " I have resorted to using 4-6 senna

root colon cleanse tablets and its still not a very good " go " !

Sorry for the length of this post but i know I am going to be asked for " more

information " so I am trying to include it all now. :)

As far as our diet, TONS of water! I actually went to Target & bought 4, 2quart

containers. I fill them up with water and each with a different " flavor " . (I add

1 to each: fresh mint leaves, 2 sliced strawberries, 1/4 sliced lemon & 1/4

sliced orange). I drink all 4 every day for a total of 8quarts of water (Im in

the bathroom all day & NIGHT!) I also have a tea and a coffee.

Food. I made homemade stock. Roasted chicken and beef bones & simmered for a

whole day. Chilled and skimmed of all fat. I use these in the recipes that I

have been following in the HCG Diet, Tammy Skyes cookbook.

I measure all our protein. I try to fill up on my one veg but my husband refuses

to eat vegetables all together. So he just has his 2 apples.

A typical day looks like this:

Breakfast: coffee

Snack after workout at 11: 1 small apple

Lunch: 4 romaine leaves wrapped around 100g chic breast and 2 thin grissini

Dinner: Soup made with stock, 1 vegetable and 100 g chic & 2 melba

Dessert: one baked small apple with cinnamon, and Truvia.

I also have been chewing Xylitol gum throughout the day. My husband drinks 2

Zevia (stevia) sodas from Whole Foods.

Dont get me wrong, I am VERY happy with the results thus far. (even though I

wish I were closer to the 1 pound a day mark...) I am just trying to share our

experiences and get a little support and a few suggestions to make this process

a little more enjoyable.

Speaking of which, Monday I turn 41. I have never had a birthday without food &

wine being the main focus. God help me :)...

Thank You ALL :)

She
