My pellets came, but my power left with Ms Irene. what do I do. I have them in a cool dry place, but will they go bad. I cant go shopping, cause I cant store anything. They are saying no power till Friday.

If they are Hhcg, they will be fine.

Hope you get your power back soon!!!!!

Sorry about your power. I hope it's back real soon! I think if you can keep the pellets in your medicine cabinet and they should be okay.

You should try to keep them in a cool dry place and make sure you don't store them near electronics. I've heard from other people that electronics can deactivate the hhcg pellets/drops.

I don't know what I'd do without power for so long. Hopefully it will come back on sooner for you.

thankfully, power came back this afternoon, so tomm I gonna clear out the fridge. I am expecting tom anytime soon, should I just start them, or wait for it to end then start.

I would start after TOM. That's a notoriously fluctuating time for weight and you don't need the added frustration.

By the by, you don't refrigerate the pellets. Keep them in a dark dry place like the medicine cabinet away for electronics like WigglesMom mentioned.

I lost my power too, also in NY! It was near impossible to stay on this diet without power, but every morning Ive been goign to the deli and getting 1 egg/3 egg whites for breakfast and having grilled protein for dinner. Last night I broke down and had a piece of salmon and a margarita while out to diner, but I am hoping it didn't derail me too bad.
I can't wait til the power is back and I can cook my food and get back on track!
I was down 7 pounds in 8 days and then Irene came in and knocked me off my diet!!!
Glad to hear you have power...let's pray I get mien soon. Cold showers get annoying after 4 days!

Oh and did I mention I had FOUR job interviews this week? Yup, add that to my stress. The good thng is it keeps me busy and not thinking about food lol
