Hi, this is my first round, day 11, and I have been so sick. I was diagnosed with Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) a couple or so years ago, have been on Nexium (purple pill) for that long. Since I am unemployed, I have the last month or so ago been taking 1 pill every other day and had no issues with that cutback to save money.

Then I loaded………….. Connoli, Bismarks, Bacon……… that stuff alone made me pretty messed up for a few days into the round, but it all finally calmed down. UNTIL I had an empty stomach and the acids were messing me up bad. I had noticed before the HCG round that when I seemed to have an empty stomach, I would start getting sick to stomach, so I would eat. Food mixes with acid I thought and was better not to have an empty stomach.
Well, on the HCG diet, I have lost 15 pound, but I often have empty stomach. And nausea. I went to one smaller dose Nexium pill in morning, and one around dinner and that seemed to be working. However, if I forget that my stomach will soon be empty and don’t eat, I get REALLY sick. I googled this forum and found ginger tea, and soda water, and the soda water with lemon helps tremendously. Actually, I could NOT continue HCG without soda water twice a day.
I have lost 15 lbs. My sister is doing same batch with me, both at 125iu, and this is her third round. She is having no problems, says all is good with the batch.

SHOULD I CUT BACK ON THE DOSE? WILL THAT EVEN HELP? I don’t have insurance right now, and my blood pressure feels like it is up when I do much activity, and I am slightly light-headed at times too. I don’t know if I can do this any more. I feel no hunger, as when I am hungry, I am just sick instead.
Oh, and my love, strawberries, wiped me out when I had them on empty stomach the other day. I am therefore afraid of any fruit except apple as that works for me as my daily “treat” a couple hours before bed. Puts food in my stomach so I don’t have issues at night.

I did okay with cabbage first couple day I tried it, but last time, next day was sick…..I bet tomato would get me too.
Any one have these issues? Recommend? And in general, I have no energy at all. Thought about trying to figure out how to get B-12 but have been so sick I haven’t gotten to that yet. In general, I just feel like crap, achey, spacey head, not good.
