HELP- I went to my doc on thursday and he had me start the program that day. We injected I/M 125iu but, he told me not to eat to capacity or in other words just to eat normal until I start the diet Sunday!!! I am so afraid after reading everyones comments about starving. Should I eat fatty food today or not!!!HELP
OMG yes! you will be hungry for about 3 days if you don't. If you can start loading now and all day tomorrow. Eat eat and eat some more. Lots of fattening things...cheese, cheesecake, oils, nuts, icecream, fatty meats. Then, start your low calorie days.
I did eat a double cheeseburger and fries yesterday because of the comments about gorging and I ate a hash brown and egg and cheese sandwich from MCDonalds. I aslo ate 3 fried mozzarella sticks and 2 pieces fried chicken is that good enough you think?? Today I did eat peanut butter and half avocado should I eat a cheeseburger and fries again because I don't have anything fattening in my house?
You will want to 'load' the first two days (your first two injections)- think fatty foods NOT sugary and empty carbs. fried food and cheeseburgers are good choices. and then go to VLCD of 500 starting on the third day.
IF you dont feel like you loaded well on thursday, its okay to laod for three days (thurs, fri, sat.) and then you would start on sunday with the VLCD.
Pinki....yes, thats perfect that you actually ate good yesterday....but do more today. Yes more fries more cheeseburgers and like smartielady said, eat as much as you can. Then yes, go ahead and start the low cal diet tomorrow. (won't it feel good after eating all that yuck :)
Oh yes, eat, eat, and eat some more. Also come back and let us know how your doing. Don't hesitate to be honest with how you are feeling and any questions.
Wow, i love all your comments i think I can actually do this with everyone's support!!! i went out and ate a double cheeseburger and fries. I have also had peanut butter and avocado. I will eat more fattening stuff ;) I just ate regular on thursday when I had my first shot at 4pm. So, I think yesterday and today will be okay as long as I eat a lot today I hope this works. i am just super duper nervous about not being able to stick to the diet. Also, am I thinking I might eat my apple or strawberries for breakfast instead of with lunch. Is that all the fruit I am suppose to eat??? It isn't very clear on Dr.Simeons instructions??
eat a pound of bacon with a block of cream cheese LOL seriously.
I eat 1/2 of my apple about 10:00 every morning then my lunch then about 3 in the afternoon I eat the other half of my apple then dinner. I don't eat both my furits as a rule. You could have one fruit in the morning and the other in the afternoon. It's best to split up your food throughout the day how ever it works best for you.
Tell us more about what your doctor said to do on the diet? Are his foods the same as Dr. Simeons? Some doctors have their patients doing very different things and it doesn't work so great sometimes.
What don't you understand about the foods? Is your doctor having you give yourself the IM injections?
