I'm right there with you Dear, I have done the HCG diet too and I lost 26 lbs. in 3 weeks then I had a trip for two months and guess what happen I gain all back and some more, I was crazy hungry like I never before somehow the HCG works but I think if you don't do it all the phases you end up worst... so here I am schedule for surgery on the 22 of March...
Good luck to you I think this is a changing life and like you said that also will allow us to have healthy baby and be able to teach them the correct way to eat with our new habits...
