Day 9: Backwards progress...

Tuesday July 14
Starting weight: 309
Today's weight: 292

Gained half a pound. I had a feeling it was too good to be true. Damn water loss. Also I was hungry yesterday, probably due to the diarrhea.

Well, that and the "skip" day. Let's talk about the skip day briefly. The reason why the protocol is only 40 days long is because eventually your body develops an immunity, or resistance to the HCG hormone. To delay that immunity you're suggested to skip an injection every 7 days. I haven't gotten a clear answer to whether that's a good idea or not.

K was miserable yesterday - some of her aches and pains that had previously been alleviated have returned, along with the lethargy and nausea. She's emailed our doctor to ask what is the final authority on skip days. Good idea or no?

Further updates when we hear back from the doctor.
