Question:
Has anyone heard of or tried the HCG (Human Chorionic Gondaotropin) Protocol diet at

I've lost 130 pounds over the last 2 years, and can't seem to lose anymore weight. My goal is to lose 60 more.    — m242841 (posted on November 18, 2009)

It sounds very extreme and likely to set you up for failure, as all diets are really. Have you talked to your nutritionist? http://hcgdietinfo.com/HCG-Diet-Protocol.htm

It is one of the many diets I tried before finally having the VGS done. It was not a healthy way to lose weight, and I regained it VERY quickly afterwards - plus more, of course!

If you have a pouch, try the 5 day pouch test to get you back on track, the HCG doesn't look very healthy to me, and expensive!!! Maybe try changing up your diet/exercise would help get you started again.

Go back to your surgeon and nutritionist. They will have the best answers for you. Yes, a lot of us have tried HCG injections. If they worked, we would not have had to turn to surgery for weight loss help.
