Thread: The P2 Band part two (and a half)

ok, well, the link worked! Now, can I find it again?? ...
it says it was started at 9:50 am "today". It's is almost 5 pm my time, Sunday, and about 3am Arizona time Sunday. It could only have been 5 am or 6 for you, Donna?? I'm confused...

I guess it's casa blanca time

That's kind of a cool thought...

Hello all! Hoping to join you here as I am in P2 on VLCD14. I had great losses the first week that have slowed down considerably this 2nd week. I'm on my 2nd gain this week, that I'm hoping will turn into an even bigger loss like the other one did. This diet will certainly teach you patience in many ways!

Donna! Thank you great info and 3 pounds too!! Woo hoo!!!

Stanner, I want to call you spanner....sorry!! arg!! I hate when I get something in my head (the butler, in the library with a spanner....). Welcome to our thread. It's the best one on the forum (wink). I suppose I can put all kinds of smileys and stuff in now. I'm not exactly a smiley person.. we shall see.

ok, it may be too soon to say but background hunger definitely GONE and hunger hunger is....almost none existent. I got a bit hungry at lunch time today and it's 8:30 at night and I am a little bit hungry. wow. But it may be b/c my stomach is still off... so it might be too soon to say. I certainly hope I don't have to inject even .05 ml more! boo hoo.

ok, time to focus on dinner; dry fried chicken breast and toms with italian spices. Sounded good tonight.

OK I found you! down 0.4 today, 7 or 8 days left of p2!!!!!!!!!!
(here is a copy of my post from the other site)
Min-another thing that could help with the stinging is to grab the area where you are going to inject and kind of pinch it together (I could walk you through a visual of doing it on my own body but it wouldn't be pretty so I'll spare you the graphics ) Any way pretend you are grabbing an area to "pink an inch", but do it on your leg (or abdomen), then inject while holding that area. Sometimes it will divert the pain receptors from the actual injection site. Another thing to do it to use one needle to draw the medication out of the vial, and then change out the needle for injecting. The size you have is very small but can get dulled by injecting it into the rubber stopper on the vial. I found when I used one needle in the vial, and drew up all my syringes at one time, that they hurt less. I wish I could be there to be your private duty nurse, but I know you can do this!

Good morning everyone!
Driver - it took awhile for the friend request to show up in my mailbox...oh well, i have it now.

minnie - glad you have the hunger under control. it took me awhile to find the right dose of hcg and spreading out of my food to get mine figured out. i think i'm good now, as yesterday seemed to be my best day hunger wise so far (i'm on VLCD15)

allday - congrats on being almost done with this round of P2! i wish i were closer. i think about what i want to eat in P3 and P4 all the time!

well, i woke up to a loss this morning, thankfully, as i have been up the past few days. i'm pretty sure it was from running on friday. so i've learned my lesson, no more of that until P3. it makes me tired for a few days afterwards anyways, so it isn't worth it.

Hcg (Corion) - 5'2" – 115 - 125lbs goal
Total from VLCD1 – 12.6 lbs lost/10.25 inches lost
VLCD15 – 135.2 lbs (-1.0)

Hi Stanner (spanner)

You are one of the little people. ;-) There are a few on the thread. I am 5'9" ;-)

What is your method of delivery of hCG? Do you inject? I am hungry today so I am going to increase my dose tomorrow. I think I was not hungry because I had been sick (now....arg it's been a rough start!!) This is my 3rd round. I did 2 rounds of sublingual so it's my first time injecting. We have a thread on the old forum, I think it's called "the p2 band part 2) and we are posting on 2 places so you might be missing a little bit, especially my recent illness. It is VLCD 5 for me, I think (Still a lame brain) I think I have lost 8 pounds total from top of load. I lost 31 net on my other two rounds, combined.

Hang tight. I love P3 for sure.

Ok, everyone, we signed another year's lease in our condo here (in Bangkok) and the agent brought us "egg tarts". They are Chinese and THE BEST yummmm!! I was a good girl, and froze some for me. Woo hoo. I am sanguine with that action. This diet has really helped me stop feeling deprived or cheated and has reoriented what I think of as a treat. SO glad for that!!!

Ok, I was so hungry tonight, I kind of cheated (GASP). I mixed veggies. sigh. I made a salad of tomatoes and cucumbers and teeny weeny bit of onion (raw onion and my tummy do not like each other). Oh well. Ally, if we haven't lost you, I added a bit of acv and cumin powder. Really does something to a salad (the cumin powder). Salt and pepper of course.

I HAVE to go to 200 iu tomorrow.

Mickey says "remix don't worry about it" so tomorrow I will go look out for some saline or something to inject with .

What if they both sting?? ARG.
