Ok, I was relieved that I would be off P2 for Thanksgiving until I realized that the 1st 3 days of P3 are still VLCDs. Does that mean I am still limited to the same restrictions as on P2? I don't want to mess up after sticking to it for 40 days. Any suggestions?
Yep! Stick to protocol - that's so important to stabilize..WILL POWER GIRL! Don't blow it - you've worked way too hard to get where you are. They had the BIG Thanksgiving dinner at work with tons of food and I was just starting P3 - it was the first time in 10 years I didn't contribute and didn't attend....it's all up to you!Originally Posted by dhp87
Hmm. That's actually still P2. P3 starts AFTER the HCG is out of your system, which is 3 days after your last injection. So according to your current schedule, P3D1 would actually be the day after Thanksgiving.
You are on the same food restriction during those last 3 days of P2, though if you were to eat more than the 500 calories (like 500-800) it would be ok.
There's still time to alter your strategy. You can shorten your round if you want to indulge in some turkey, cocoa crack, and heavy whipping cream in your coffee on Thanksgiving.
In my opinion 1 day is not going to hurt. I have my Aunt on it and she has been so good and lost 38 pounds. I told her don't fight with yourself all day long. Her first P3 day would've have been the day after thanks giving. I told her to do her last injection on Sunday! There is no reason to suffer with friends and family indulging all day!
Really? Stop a day earlier and start p3 on Thanksgiving. Its 1 day!!! Have a good day with your friends and family and don't sweat it....life is too short.
I am in a similar situation. Thanksgiving comes once a year. It does not give us the red light to binge but I am certainly going to partake in a little dressing and sweet potato. If I gain, it's an apple day for me the day after. I start P3 November 29th. Can't wait to have almonds! Good luck whichever way you decide.

If I take my injection at 7:00 am on Monday, 72 hours after that would be Thursday at 7:00 am. So do I get to pick up with P3 for Thanksgiving or stick to P2. I'm a little confused.Hmm.

In that case, P3D1 is Thursday and that's when you can add your P3 foods...like TURKEY!
Is it also 3 days for HHCG? My last drops were Friday night. I was planning on starting P3 on Monday. We are leaving for vacation on Monday, should I try to stay on P2 protocol until Tuesday?

I only waited 48 hrs for hhcg on my last round. It does leave the system faster because your only getting such a small amt. Some people do say to wait 72 hrs though. You may have to ask the company you purchased from.
Thank goodness for this post, I was just wondering the same thing. So if I took my last drops today then I would start P3 on Thanksgiving right?
