Weight Loss

I mentioned I would let you know how this goes, so I will do this like a journal. I think it would be wisest if I just post to this and comments and questions are created in a seperate post/thread. Otherwise this is going to get LONGGG. But I dont have any control if someone decideds to post in it-- just trying to make it easy. Wish me luck!

Started my MC last night, had to drink a laxative tea..actually was good. I am anxious to get this rolling and past day three for I am scared of the detox symptoms. But I know this will help my digestive system. After surgery my body just isnt processing food like it once used to. I tried one of my old time soup favs Monday night thinking I would be okay--it is soup! Guess I was wrong because my DS (dig sys) just won't stop giving me issues. With the soup I had a piece of whole wheat bread too, I wonder if that didn't help--but giving up bread is SOO hard! But on the other forum I have read that flour is addicting and it will be hard giving it up if I chose to do so. Guess after the MC, maybe I won't be such a sucker for it. So anyways, drank the tea last night, slept ok considering the DS issues but boy did I have to use the bathroom this morning, once at 5 and again at 7- B (bowels) are partially hard and runny. Today I start my salt water and lemonade. Not excited about the salt water, but very excited about finishing and having my system cleaned out! For the most part (besides the recent DS issue) I feel so great, I can't imagine feeling BETTER??!!! Hope it doesnt increase my sex drive more, since going raw I am already horney enough as it it, hub cant keep up. What am I going to do if it increases it more? Buy toys? Maybe I can turn that energy into exercise energy and find something to do at home to exert it. Well, signing off and going to drink my salt water. I will post tonight before bed on how my day went.

hey lyn...  take it easy on hubby..  you want him around
after your MC.  as a hubby myself that's a good problem to have

Larry I posted your reply in the MC questions and comments okay?

I must add..that it has been only a couple of hours since my last post. I dont know how they say CHUG your salt water? HOW!!??? without throwing it up? It took me 40 minutes to down it all, and I dumped the last couple of drinks..I was DONE. But man has dear old "JOHN" become my best friend. Where is all this crap coming from???? (literally) Am I really that full of it? And this is supposed to happen daily? I thought I was eating so well these past two months and I have this much stored? At least as I go, I am less nausaus (sp?). But I know I have to start the lemonade sometime today and I cant do that while sitting here( Yes I have been sitting with my laptop and JOHN....been here for awhile now...so had my daughter get my laptop so i wasnt so bored). Yuck I know. But I told you I would keep this like a journal. And Larry, don't know how sex drive will be a problem sitting here..guess you could use your imagination, but i'd rather not.

so clayton or anybody, if you do this, i advise you wake up extra early to accomodate the bathroom time. or start on the weekend. i am hopeful it isnt this bad after a couple of days. will post and let you know though.

It's amazing how much ... errr...crap you can have stuck in you!

Did you try doing the salt water flush with lukewarm water?  I found that helps.  Also when I tried it I filled up a 1L Nalgene bottle with the salts and water then shaked it around and did my damndest to down it.  I've heard you really have to try and get it down all at once!

well, i am out of the bathroom! thats a relief. i am on the second glass of lemonade. surprised of how much it tastes like lemonade. It isn't bad at all, thats good after the morning routine! I am so used to downing so much water that not having it first thing in the morning is a big change for me. as soon as i done with the salt water and first glass of lemonade, i drank a big glass of water! YUM! I am not hungry at all. I feel fine, like normal, although my rear end hurts a little...to be expected though. the rest of the day should be cake drinking lemonade and then a cup of tea tonight. thanks for the encouragment. think i am off to get more lemons from good ol crazy-mart! Will post more tonight since i am able to leave the house now! hugs!

onto the path of detox and optimal health!---lynette 

What is MC???

Master Cleanse. So other posts please for info on it- thanks.

Its 3:30 in the afternoon. No more trips to the bathroom thank goodness. Lemonade is doing fine, no hunger yet.

End of day 1. Getting ready to drink my lax tea. Must admit that its the best part of it thus far. It is a tea with a peppermint taste to it. NOT LOOKING FOWARD to tomorrow morning and the salt water--yuck! But I know as soon as it is down than its over with. I will get up extra early to make sure I am done with the bathroom runs before 9ish so I can head out. I didn't experience any of the aches and pains like I have read about, maybe it's too early. I am going to check into another website and see what others have experienced too. Otherwise I am fine. Will check in with you tomorrow! Nite! Lynette
