VLCD - Day 12

Wow!!!! I've lasted 12 days on this diet and I've lost 11.5 lbs!!!! whuuuuutt! This is amazing! I have no headache or hunger pangs. But the craving is there sometimes so I choose to just keep myself busy and stay in bed! haha I have no social life for the last 2 weeks. It's just a bit of sacrifice. I don't really want to go out and torture myself. It's only a month of sacrifice. It's not that bad!

For my cravings, I stick my nose in the cookie jar. Just by smelling the oh so yummy chocolate crinkles, it satisfies my tastebuds already. I will be able to eat that in a couple of weeks so I'm not trippin. I only have about 10 days left on this diet. It's up to me if I want to extend it or not. I might want to take it slowly. Losing 10 lbs in such a short time might make me loose and sagging. I think I need to do some cardio and prolly some yoga.

I really want to be stick thin! I'm kinda round even if i lose so much weight. But I don't think it's impossible cuz my best friend who has always been voluptuous became stick thin when she lost more than 50 lbs. Who would have thought, right es? I need to lose all this fat so my bones will show! I'm soooo excited. Hope I can achieve that.

Good luck to all those who are on the protocol or those who are thinking of trying it. But I'm telling you! Go for it!!! it's amazing! I now have a miracle drug to fight my obesity.

I HATE FAT!!!!! NO ONE HAS TO BE FAT!!!!!

VLCD - Day 1

Today I started with my VLCD. I woke up at 8am and excitedly injected my belly with HCG. (This is the most exciting part of my day) After about 45 minutes, I felt really light-headed. My body was craving for sugar. When I get dizzy, I always pop in a piece of candy. But this time, I can't do that. I knew I wasn't hungry and I have no appetite at all. It was just the dizzy feeling that's bugging me. So I went ahead and sliced up a Fuji apple. I ate 2 slices only cuz I'm reserving some for later. I had tea as well. I was okay after that. Took a shower and all. I decided to eat at 11:30am before I get overly dizzy again. They made me grilled chicken breast seasoned with Rosemary, Braggs aminos and lemon. Then for my veggies, steamed spinach with garlic. It was actually good! haha except that the chicken was kinda dry. But taste wise, it was good. After my lunch, i had another slice of apple. I think the spinach cooked for me was too little. Next time, I'm going to have the whole 230 gram package cooked for me for 1 meal. Tonight, I'm going to have grilled shrimps and greens which I will sprinkle with fresh Orange juice and some balsamic vinegar. That should be good!

I hope I don't get dizzy when I drive around. I'm going to bring the slices of apple with me to the mall just in case I need sugar. Anyway, tomorrow will be challenging. I will have an out of town meeting. I'll just bring my stash with me. I'll update again later before I go to sleep.

Day 3 - still loading

I decided to do a 3 day loading. I'm just making sure the HCG has kicked in. I'm done loading. I feel like having a heart attack with all the food I ate these past few days. But the truth is, I really have quite an appetite. I can really do this every single day. haha the only difference is that I skipped all the sweet stuff and the carbs. Im really not sweet-toothed. I'm a carbs person. I can eat 2 cups of rice per meal hahaha and I can eat bread the whole day. With loading, I skipped all that and just stuffed myself with fats.

Today, I ate 5 hotdogs, 2 slices of spam, an egg and 1/2 cup of rice for breakfast! haha I had a regular lunch...tuna mayo sandwich for snacks...super big burger for dinner, some fries and some bbq chicken! hahaha what a pig! I'm really done gorging! haha

I only gained 3 pounds so far. I will see tomorrow how much more I gained when I weigh again. I can't wait to dive in the VLCD (very low calorie diet). I'm ready to lose all this fat. 35 lbs!!!! whoo hooo! goodluck to me.

The only thing I noticed though since I started injecting HCG is that I sleep early and wake up early. Like at 10pm, I'm so ready to go to bed. I usually sleep at 1-2am. I'm up by 8am. I think it's my excitement to inject myself. Also, my acne which has been bothering me for months, kinda halted. I dunno if its all in my head. We'll see. I have a long way to go. By the way, I'm loving the 31 gauge and 5/16 syringe. The needle is so short and thin. This time, i didn't get a bruise. Yay! I wonder how many bruises my belly will end up with. haha

I loaded 3 syringes for my brother who will be traveling out of town. I hope the potency doesn't wear off since he didn't pack any ice with it. He has about 60 lbs to lose. I hope we both become successful in this journey.

Day 2 - up by 8:00am

OMG! I can't believe I woke up so early considering I slept at 2am. I'm so excited to inject myself! haha that's the MD in me. I weighed myself and I gained 2 lbs. Wow! not bad from all the fats I ate yesterday. Last night, I was eating till 1 am. The food was already up to my neck. I felt reallu stuffed. This morning though, as im writhing this blog, I can feel my tummy growling already. haha oh well!

I'm excited to eat today. I bought bacon and hotdogs. Im going to have that for breakfast. I also need to think of things I have to buy in the supermarket. I need to make sure I have food to eat so I can strictly follow the diet.

I can't wait to inject again tomorrow. Haha I hope 175 IU of HCG injection is the perfect dose for me. I'm also thinking if I need b12 shots. Maybe I'll just take the oral supplements. I hope it doesn't interfere with my weight loss.

8:40pm Update: There's a big bruise where I injected the HCG. I prolly hit a vein or something. Hope that's not too bad. Anyway, I'm still contemplating whether I'm going to take another day of loading. I'll figure it out tomorrow. Can't wait to inject again tomorrow.

Day 1

I kept waking up last night. I kept on checking if it's morning already. I couldn't wait to mix my HCG. I finally woke up at 9am...took my thyroid medicine first then started with mixing my HCG.

YOU WILL NEED: HCG in powder concentrate, Bacteriostatic water, syringes for mixing with replacement needles, alcohol pads, sterile glass vial and insuline syringes.

Of course, I just had to take a picture of my stash! haha Mixing it was a breeze. I've memorized it in my head for weeks. I've memorized when to put air or remove air from the pressurized vials.

With all the research I’ve done, I chose to use 5000 IU of HCG and mix it with 10 ml Bacteriostatic water and inject myself a daily mixture of 175 IU or 0.35ml of the mixture. I will be able to use this for 28 days.

Steps for mixing my HCG:
1. Clean the area with alchohol.
2. Open all the vials and wipe the top with alcohol swab.
3. Open the big syringe for mixing.
4. Take out 10 ml of air out of the Sterile Glass vial.
5. Take out 8ml of Bacteriostatic water and transfer it to the Sterile glass vial.
6. Take out 2ml of Bacteriostatic water and inject in the HCG vial. (DO NOT SHAKE the HCG mixture. It will dissolve even without doing anything to it. Just gently swirl the vial and you’re good to go!)
7. Take out the 2ml of HCG mixture using your mixing syringe and transfer it to the sterile glass vial with the 8ml bacteriostatic water.

DONE!!!!!!! It’s so easy. You now have a mixture good for 28 days.

I got some foil and wrapped it around the clear glass vial. I’ve read that it should be in a dark environment so the potency will last longer. After that, I went ahead and injected myself with 0.35 ml using my 29 gauge (.5 cc) ½” syringe in my belly.

I kept laughing before I injected myself cuz I suddenly was chickening out!!! Haha it was funny. But you know what? I didn’t feel a thing. That needle is sooooo thin that an ant bite would be 50x more painful. I’ve seen thinner needles though (31 gauge). I bet those will feel nothing at all.

After injecting myself, I put the HCG mixture in a zip lock bag and placed it in the refrigerator immediately.

The best part of this diet of course are the loading days! So I started off my breakfast with 4 slices of spam....yum!!!!!! then some lays potato chips. For lunch I ate fried chicken and veggies. Then for my afternoon snack, I ate 2 chicken pies. For dinner I ate in Pepper Lunch. Super yummy! I had sizzling beef and pork strips. I ate some more when I went to a party. I was eating till 1 am. hehe I hope im doing my loading right.

The day before the HCG diet

Today is Friday, and today is the last day of my gluttony. I can't stop staring at my HCG (Corion). I can't wait to be a mini-scientist and start mixing that stuff. I bought my HCG from http://www.alldaychemist.com/ and I really had a good experience shopping with them. http://www.drugdelivery.ca.com/ sucks though. I ordered from them last Oct. 6, 2009 and it's already Nov 6, 2009 and still no HCG. They suck! I got ripped off too with their high price.

I'm so excited with the loading days...the truth is, the loading days are my usual everyday intake! haha No wonder im this fat. It turns out that me and my brother will not be starting at the same time. I will go first cuz he will be out of town next week. We don't want him to start at the wrong foot.

Can I jsut share how ecstatic I am today? hehe I was in the US embassy today and my tourist visa was approved. It was a renewal actually. The Visa Officer spoke straight tagalog. It was akward though cuz I answered all his questions in English. It's really hard to answer in tagalog when you're mind has been thinking in english almost always. I'm just happy cuz I can go to the states anytime again.

So there! Tomorrow I will be updating about my first day of injection. I'm so tempted to mix the HCG tonight...but I feel it's best if I do that tomorrow so the HCG is fresh.

It's here!!!!

I'm so excited now. All my supplies arrived already...HCG...vials...bacteriostatic water...syringes. The only thing that hasn't come is TOM!!! it sucks. I've been reading that the best time to start the protocol is after your last day. Man! i cant wait to mix the HCG and get my first injection! haha what a weirdo. but yeah, my first order of HCG from Deliverydrug.ca hasn't arrive yet and it's already been over 3 weeks. But my order from Alldaychemist, arrived like in 6 days! that's super awesome! I really recommend them. At first, i was kinda skeptical cuz they didn't send me the tracking number right away. I ordered Corion.

I've read that it's good. The packing says manufactured in Switzerland and marketed in India. So I'll just give an update about that. My other order was the HUCOG brand.

Mumzee already sent me her recipes for the protocol. I can't wait to lose the weight. As soon as TOM leaves, I'm ready! I've stopped buying or even looking at clothes. The next time I buy is when i shed the first 15-20 lbs. The truth is, i have so many clothes from my last US trip. I was 20 lbs lighter that time. All of the clothes I bought there don't fit anymore. So when I lose weight, i have a lot of clothes waiting for me.

I hate being fat!!!! I hate that I dont have any clothes that fit me. I hate the fat in my chin and my face and jaws. I look like a person with prosthetics. I feel my fats are eating me as a person. Sometimes I don't recognize myself in the mirror and I most definitely don't like the chuncky person I've become. I am 35lbs over weight. And with a small frame that I have, 35lbs is not good. I am really hopeful that HCG will help me get my old body back and maintain it for good.

I've tried appetite suppresant pills and that shit gave me elevated high blood pressure. Though I can't deny, Reductil really made me lose 20 lbs. I was able to maintain it for about 8 months. I'm sooo tempted to take it again prior to discovering HCG but im just so scared to go full blown hypertensive. I'm only in my 30s. You know, thinking about it now, Reductil was my wonder drug...i even said I'm not going to get fat again cuz of that drug. If only it was super safe, I'd take every single day.

I'll be back for another update. Hope TOM arrives soon.

Still patiently waiting...

Last saturday, I bought a digital weighing scale. I returned it cuz it gives me different values everytime I went on it. I got so excited cuz it was on sale for Php500. So today, I exchanged it for a better one (hopefully). It was funny too cuz the salespeople kept saying, "maam, try it." I was all...no...you guys will see how much i weigh. hahaha so they had to try it for me. They were tricking me too when they were trying to set up the scale...your age maam? hahhaa im like....ummm no! I wouldn't give in. I was appalled because I'm heavier than those two guys. It's really time to diet!

Anyway, today, I got a notice from the post office. I picked up my package, but it was only the HCG kit. The kit was shipped last Oct 8. I was in the post office by Oct 14 but the notice didnt get to me till today, Oct 20. Talk about slow mo! I find it weird that the HCG kit arrived earlier than the HCG itself. How far is India anyways? Well, I'm not really in a hurry because I've planned out when im going to start my HCG. I'm not taking it till November. I just want to start it after my next menstruation. That's the thing, you can't take HCG when you have your period.

So there! I think i need to order my second set of HCG for my round two. I just cant believe how expensive the insulin syringes are in you buy it in the states. If I try to order per pack, it will cost me around P1,000 plus...here, I can get it for P300. The brand I get in Mercury drug says made in the USA. I still need to find a supplier of the sterile glass vials here and the bacteriostatic water as well. I'm sure someone sells it, just need to find them.

I'll just update again when the HCG arrives. Later! By the way, I purchased my HCG supplies from http://www.hcgsuppliesforless.com/
