Hi Everyone! I just started my VLCD and HGC injections! I am currently on day 3 of phase 2 (thats the VLCD phase, right? pig out days are phase 1?) and feeling great actually. I am just getting adjusted to the whole " can't freaking eat diddly squat" thing... but otherwise I am good LOL!!! I read something somewhere that really resonated with me... "quit your whining and keep your eye on the prize". And that is what I shall do.
I do have a few questions from some of you more experienced HCGer's.

I hate to admit it, but I didn't read the diet instructions as thoroughly as I should have... i did not realize that during those wonderful gorge days that I was also supposed to start the HCG... so I did not start the injections till day 1 of my VLCD. Has anyone else done this? Will this screw me up? I am feeling surprisingly good... not as hungry as I thought.
Do you really have to refrain from using lotion, moisturizer, etc? I can't imagine not slathering on my wrinkle cream every day... I wanna be skinny, but not skinny with crows feet!!!
The Simeon protocol gives you a short list of fruit and veggies to eat... anyone else eat fruit and veggies that aren't on the list? I had a kiwi and i ate mixed veggies!!! Is that ok? Are you really only supposed to have one variety with a meal?

I can't wait to lose some weight! I am down 4 pounds in 3 days already! Woohoo... thats a record for me. Now I only have 35 more to go
