According to Dr. S, if you take a break, as long as you start again before 20 days you don't need to gorge, Just begin injections and VLCD again. I worried about being hungry, but it works! Yes, stop the injections and do the 72 hours/3 days continued VLCD, then increase calories to at least 800-1000 using more proteins. Just jump back in when you are ready way to go

Glad you are feeling better. That flu is really a wrench in the works, isn't it??

I am confussed. when I take the last injection does the 72 hours start then or the next day. If the last shot is on Thursday morning is the 72hours Thursday, Friday and Sat. Start phase 3 on Sunday? or do i wait until Monday?

Hi jwehmann, I do believe that You would start P3 on Sunday morning per the senario that you outlined. Good luck !!!

Hi, my name is Jan. thanks for the info. That is what I was thinking.
I took a break after 26 injections because I had to be out of town. I did it just like I was going to P3 and then on day 7 I started the injections back at the same LIW. I was pleased.
I am doing 14 more injections to make the 40. My last one will be this Thursday morning. so far I have lost 26 lbs and would love to lose another 5 before the last shot.
I love this site. My husband is doing it with me. He has lost over 30. He did not do as well on the break. to much fun and drink. LOL

HAHA!!! That "too much fun" seems to be a trend! I've done that myself: too much fun/food!

The 72 hours begins the moment you take your last injection, so p3 begins the morning of the 3rd day after. Last injection on Thursday? P3 begins Sunday morning way to go

You and hubby should join us with a journal so we can celebrate all your fantastic success!!!!
