Hi everyone,

Instead of endless browsing trying to gather people's weight loss experiences & mixing/injection details I thought I would start a thread asking some questions for those of you who have completed the Phase II.

#1 Did you do the 23 or 43 day protocol on Phase II?

#2 How much weight did you lose on Phase II?

#3 Did you mix the HCG yourself and if so did you use bac water instead of sodium chloride?

#4 How many ICU's did you use? 125---200?

#5 Where did you inject? Stomach, Buttocks, Hips, Stomach, Arms or Thigh?

#6 Did you get hungry while doing Phase 2, if so what days were the hardest for you? Example. Day 10, Day 15-18 or Day 35-43

#7 Did you ever cheat or go over your calorie intake on the protocol?

#8 Did you exercise on Phase 2, if so what kind of exercise?

#9 Did you ever get sick on the protocol, headache, fever, nausea?

#10 If you could do Phase 2 again, what would you do differently if anything?

Thanks Everyone!

1. I have completed 2 Phase 2s each of 40 days.
2. First round lost 25 pounds, second round lost 20 pounds
3. I mixed myself with the bac water.
4. 125 IU
5. Always in my thighs (both rounds)
6. Was never physically hunger on either round.
7. Never cheated on either round and never went over calorie limit
8. Yes, just walking (30 minutes/day) in nice weather (live in MT) and my usually cleaning, etc.
9. First day on each round after taking injection got a headache, drank plenty of water and it went away. Felt sick the first days of loading due to the crap I was forcing into my body.
10. Nothing. It is a miracle diet and I'm so glad I found HCG.

#1 Did you do the 23 or 43 day protocol on Phase II? - 43

#2 How much weight did you lose on Phase II? -- It's day 26 and I've lost 24.7 lbs, more time left yet to continue to lose.

#3 Did you mix the HCG yourself and if so did you use bac water instead of sodium chloride? -- Doctor pre-mixes, so no idea

#4 How many ICU's did you use? 125---200? -- Started at 125, went to 150, I'm on 175 and hope for going to 200 tomorrow.

#5 Where did you inject? Stomach, Buttocks, Hips, Stomach, Arms or Thigh? -- Only Thigh

#6 Did you get hungry while doing Phase 2, if so what days were the hardest for you? Example. Day 10, Day 15-18 or Day 35-43 - I have been hungry the whole time. It has been physical hunger with my stomach growling. I am unfortunately odd man out on this one. But I drink Pellegrino with flavored Stevia and that can help make my tummy feel full due to bubbles. I also do tea if I think I could lose it because I'm so hungry.

#7 Did you ever cheat or go over your calorie intake on the protocol? - I have never cheated because I paid $800 for this!!! Not only that, it's 40 days of my life. I can handle not cheating as I removed myself from social activities with food and my hubby is very supportive.

#8 Did you exercise on Phase 2, if so what kind of exercise? NEVER exercise - too low energy

#9 Did you ever get sick on the protocol, headache, fever, nausea? headache (but I have always, always had headaches), nausea (once or twice when I was getting tired of fish, moved to chicken and I'm okay now. I also was nauseous on loading days - not because of too much food, just from the shots)

#10 If you could do Phase 2 again, what would you do differently if anything? Eat more grapefruit, look for more recipes, push myself to gorge far more even if sick to tummy, and I would love to do program from Bob to save money (unfortunately I already signed up with my doctor before fidning this forum and so I paid for two 40-day programs. Live and learn).

Good questions - Annette

[Acalsenunse]

Thanks guys.

Forgot to include a question.

What size needle are they using?

1/2"--1"--2" ???

Does the clinic go deep when injecting?

I'm using the 1/2" needles but not sure if I'm going deep enough.

I've been injecting in the thigh about 6-9" or so above the knee.

[TheDoctor]

I used 1/2" needles. I don't have a lot of fat on my thigh so that is why I chose there, closest and biggest muscle.

[Asianunta]

1 Did you do the 23 or 43 day protocol on Phase II? 43 day

#2 How much weight did you lose on Phase II? 33.4 first round, 15lbs so far this round (day 10)

#3 Did you mix the HCG yourself and if so did you use bac water instead of sodium chloride? mixed myself with bac water

#4 How many ICU's did you use? 125---200? 83iu first one (DOH!!!!) then 175 when I realized it, 200 iu this round

#5 Where did you inject? Stomach, Buttocks, Hips, Stomach, Arms or Thigh? Stomach with 1/2" sub-q needle

#6 Did you get hungry while doing Phase 2, if so what days were the hardest for you? No but I am having more cravings this round. I think because I got to eat normal for 3 weeks and then start again...

#7 Did you ever cheat or go over your calorie intake on the protocol? Did not cheat at all round one or this round...did cheat with 1/2 of a cookie on P3 though (weight stayed stable the next day).

#8 Did you exercise on Phase 2, if so what kind of exercise? No, not at all. Did some yoga the other day and then lost only .2 so I won't do that again.

#9 Did you ever get sick on the protocol, headache, fever, nausea? Nope

#10 If you could do Phase 2 again, what would you do differently if anything? The only thing I am doing differently is that I am eating the eggs instead of chicken for my protein.

[CAxrrAYN]

Where do you inject on the thigh Terry?

How many inches up from the knee?

Directly above the knee or on the side of the thigh?

Thanks

[jeaccatty]

About 7" up from my knee, I would inject sometimes on the top of the thigh and sometimes more on the side, depending on my mood. Always alternated thighs each day.

[onelovemp]

That doesn't matter much, yesman7, not when you're doing sq. It just has to get under the skin. On most of us, a 1/2" needle isn't going to come close to the muscle! ;-) If you were injecting into the muscle like Dr. S said, you'd want a longer needle and I sure wouldn't want to try it myself! That's why we use the 200 iu. You wouldn't want that high a dose in the muscle.

[Zenunlild]

I use a 1/2" needle. Even though I go to a doctor weekly or every other week, they don't do the shots - otherwise I'd be going there daily. I do them myself in my thigh right on top about 4" from knee - both legs - alternate every few days.

[viagsjicguara]

Feeling more confident about it now hcgloser.

If that's what the doctor asks you to do then it must be acceptable.

Appreciate the feedback!

[TimEricsson]

#1 Did you do the 23 or 43 day protocol on Phase II? 40 day

#2 How much weight did you lose on Phase II? I'm on day 20 and I've loss 19 lbs.

#3 Did you mix the HCG yourself and if so did you use bac water instead of sodium chloride? clinic provided the hcg

#4 How many ICU's did you use? 125---200? 125

#5 Where did you inject? Stomach, Buttocks, Hips, Stomach, Arms or Thigh? Stomach

#6 Did you get hungry while doing Phase 2, if so what days were the hardest for you? So far the hardest days were the 1st 3 days of the VLCD.

#7 Did you ever cheat or go over your calorie intake on the protocol? I honestly dont really weigh my food anymore. I guess because I already know I'm not eating that much. I have not cheated though.

#8 Did you exercise on Phase 2, if so what kind of exercise? I walk around at work. I walked the neighborhood maybe twice and I played tennis once.

#9 Did you ever get sick on the protocol, headache, fever, nausea? headaches, but then again I always have headaches.

#10 If you could do Phase 2 again, what would you do differently if anything? Gorge on more high fat foods and less sweets. Drink more water in the beginning.

[Snitiendumurn]

Hi Yesman7 - would be interesting to see this charted out or summarized!

#1 43 day (with 2 periods, was more like 52 days)
#2 30 pounds
#3 A friend came over & mixed for me, not sure
#4 Not sure - we mixed all 40 syringes at once and stored in the freezer (in a box)
#5 Stomach - alternating sides daily
#6 First week was the worst - then I stopped torturing myself with temptations and mind games
#7 No - not even once, not even a little - although I seriously considered it! Thanks to this forum, so many confirming it's just not worth it!
#8 Yes, the normal routine I did prior to HCG - 4 hours / week (swim, bike, run, weights)
#9 Nope, I felt terrific most of the time!
#10 Take advantage of all these fabulous recipes! I got pretty bored with same old AND, take better advantage of GORGE day! More FAT, More, more, more - I was way too conservative as I just could not believe it was OK! I think that's why I was so hungry the first week.

[GalasaKoll]

#1 43

#2 I am on day 23 and I have lost 14.2 so far
#3 I had topical cream form of HCG
#4 150
#5 Rub HCG cream on my lower arms
#6 YES! Days 1-6 were the worst. I got lifecaps and the hunger has subsided
#7 No
#8 No
#9 Day 3 I threw up, but I think I had too much tea with lemon and the acid in the lemon upset my stomach
#10 Eat more on day 1 and 2

This was a great thread to read! Especially for a new person.

Hi everyone,

What are you collecting the information for?
