Hungrier on Pellets than Drops

msack3889 · 07-24-2012, 07:04 AM

With the drops, I was only slightly hungry. Now that I am taking the pellets (Intermountain), I am hungry most of the time.

Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, is it a dosing issue that I can correct?

I am moving on to P3 on Saturday, so I really only need to take the HCG for today and tomorrow. However, I worry that if I am this hungry now, I will be ravenous when I need to do the 2 VLCD days w/o HCG.

I am sorry to hear that Michelle. I have had no issues with my pellets this round. I have felt comfortable each day--not hungry and not nauseated. I am dosing at 3 pellets 3 times a day. Is that what you are doing? I have heard of others needing to do their dosing like this: 3/2/3 . They get less at lunchtime. I am done dosing today, thank God!!!! And will be on P3 Friday!! I think the lag time will be just fine. Don't worry.

Thanks Dawn. Yes, I am doing 3/3/3. My losses have been so little this round that I am afraid of every little thing I do

I am moving to P3 on Saturday, and I can't wait either!!!

Yep, I totally experienced this! My first round I used drops and barely had any hunger--even in the beginning. The next two rounds I used Intermountain pellets (mostly because everyone raved about them)--and I was literally STARVING for the first 10 days both rounds (even after that I had hunger pangs). With this round I decided to try drops again that my local apothecary carries (HCG 1234) and I have had almost NO hunger--even in the first week when I'm usually starving.

Nicole, did you try changing your dose when you were taking the pellets? I am going to try taking only 2 at lunch time and will see if that helps. I should probably just finish the round with drops since I only have a couple of days. I am worried I will be really, really hungry when I do the 2 VLCDs w/o pellets or drops.

That's the opposite of my experience. The drops did not suppress my hunger as well as the pellets. The pellets also give me tons more energy

. I have noticed some afternoon hunger though, and may try 2 at lunch tomorrow instead. Not much appetite once I make it to dinner, but tough getting there!
