    Hi all! This is my first post and have only been on the forum for a few days. I did a search for sublingual dose for my weight and height, but I think I'm the only one on the boards as tall as I am. :-) Here's some background:

    Loaded for two days and loved every minute of it. Today, I'm on my 2nd day of my VLCD, and amazingly enough lost 7 pounds. :shocked: Wild!

    But, I'm starving. From what I've read my dose is perhaps too low. I bought and am using premade drops, but only .4 (as the directions in the box said). I've also since ordered Pregnyl in the ampule and will start mixing it myself when it arrives. I've heard that the premade drops may be ineffective, but so far so good.

    Here's my question - I'm 6'3" and approximately 270 pounds. Should the dose be changed?

    Thanks in advance for answering - and your patience with my very newby questions.

    -SB

    If the drops are premade, are they homeopathic?

    Grammy - yes. Says so right there on the bottle. I'm afraid of what your next answer will be. LOL

    LOL I'm not going to slam them. They work. :-) I would up the dose, yes. Try going to .5 3x a day. If that isn't substantially better by Sunday, go up to .6. :-)

    OK, thanks! I'm going to give it a try. I'm feeling quite sorry for myself as I'm in the process of making my husbands dinner - bratwurst and sourdough.

    Thanks so very much! I'll update on Sunday or before.

    take an extra dose right now and see if it helps. Homeopathic works very fast. :)

    OK - I'm going for it! I think I'll do a .5 - down the hatch (or under the tongue). Thanks again! I sure appreciate you taking the time to answer my very simple questions!

    Well, I've dropped 16.4 pounds and only been on the diet (loading days included) for 8 days. I'm astounded, and wondering if it's water weight or truly fat coming off. I'm embarassed to say that I'm still skeptical - seems too good to be true.

    Grammy - I increased my doseage to .7 3x daily, and I don't get hungry as much as I did. Does it ever completely go away?

    Today, however, I either stood up too fast or something, because I felt dizzy and shaky... very similiar to head rush, but intensified times ten. Had to stop and bend over with my head between my knees several times until I thought I would be OK. I immediately made my dinner and now feel better.

    From what I can find here on the boards it may be blood sugar, magnesium, iron or potassium. I've been taking two multivitamins daily and supplimenting with magnesium.

    Am I doing something blaringly wrong?

    -Thanks all!

    probably low blood pressure- possibly low blood sugar. try splitting up your food into several small meals. you also might feel weak from losing so much this first week. people generally recommend that you take magnesium and potassium together- not just one.
