master cleanse

Started the OJ this morning very timidely. I was keeping myself open to continuing on but after spending the whole evening and half the night burping, and each burp burning my throat,(acid reflux?) decided that my bod was saying “quit”. Has anyone ever experienced this? (Hoping some of the master MCers are out there reading our posts!) Again, good luck to all. I will be back, think that after the holidays is a good time for round two!

Today has not been so good. Didn’t react to the tea again this morning, had to wait till the SWF kicked in. I still feel alot of pressure in my stomach like yesterday and just keep burbing. I haven’t been able to drink a LA today, just water. Oh, the burping is accompanied with nausea so I think that is it for me, tomorrow I will start the OJ. I would have liked to go on a little more but I want to end the cleanse on a positive point and if this nausea continues, that won’t be the case. Like I said before, I’m proud of myself for going as far as I did for a first time.

This forum is great, thanks so much to all for the cheers and the comments which provided encouragement and even just reading the posts that did the same plus provided needed info. Good luck to the newbies and hang in there to the others, I know you can reach your goals!!

My last post was actually day 13, today is fourteen. Tea “working” again but this is the second time I’ve had this pressure/bloated stomach. Was uncomfortable all day. Forgot to mention that my tongue has been a very light brown the last couple of days but so much less gunky. That seems to be coming back :( Up until now I’ve loved the LA but am finally getting a bit tired of it. Watering it down has helped alot. The urge to crunch is gone but has been replaced by the desire for all the luscious summer fruits that are finally in season! Thanks to all for the comments and cheers, it really helps! Courage to you all!

Still hanging in there but the desire to eat is stronger and stronger. Not hunger, just want to taste and chew on something. I’m going to try and go as long as my supply of tea holds out which is another 5 days, I think, but in case I have my orange juice. It really is one day at a time at this point. The tea isn’t waking me up anymore but the SWF makes up the difference afterwards. Guess that’s it except to wish you all a great 4th!

Day twelve is winding down,couple of hours and it’s time for tea. Woke up this morning with my stomach feeling heavy/bloated eventhough I’d already had one elim but before the SWF. Had the feeling almost all afternoon but now all is fine. No difficult urges today so that was great, but I do want to eat. It’s kind of like “I did 10 days so why not stop?” but on the other hand, “I’m doing alright so why not continue?”. This is my first cleanse so I feel I have already accomplished something BUT I think I’ll just keep going LOL

Day eleven has started off really well! Lost another pound and then comments from a fellow MCer really encouraged me. To top it all off, my daughter was accepted into the middle school we wanted so even when I saw the kids crunch down into crusty baguette sandwiches, it didn’t even phase me!

But back down to earth, I think it is important to set some type of goal, in this case the length of the cleanse, but like I keep saying, take it one day at a time. (and hopefully tomorrow will be another “urgeless for crunching” day) LOL
Good luck to all!

Yesterday was day nine. All went well but it is getting harder and harder. Hunger is absolutely not the problem just this desire to bite, crunch and chew! Today is day ten and I could have started my way back to crunching and chewing but had already decided to go for 14 days since all went so well. This is going to be the real test for me now! One day at a time and what’s four more days, right?!

I am curious, on a 10 day cleanse am I suppose to have started having semi solid elims? Cause that is definitely not my case! Is it some kind of indication of how clean the body is of toxins? Anyways, good luck to newbies and courage to all!

Yesterday was day eight, my tongue turned from white to a light brownish color but isn’t so heavily charged (gunky!). My elims come faster now, and the major part of them are over in an hour.
Last night was a little difficult, I was tempted to nibble on somthing, I think it is just to have some kind of texture in my mouth. Gum would probably do the trick and also calm my fears of bad breath but I will just stick to the program…

Things are still going well, very little hunger sensations though I still have an urge to crunch into something. I’m really proud of myself seeing as I’m around food and snacks all day, cooking and serving 3 meals a day for the family. Of course seeing my tummy shrink and slipping into my clothes rather than squeezing into them is a BIG incentive! lol
I started experiencing the chills so everyone is looking at me like I’m crazy shutting doors and windows with the summer heat!

Day five came and went with no problem, but what I had attributed to lack of sleep was maybe the cleanse. I’ve never napped so much in my life!

On the other hand, Day six was one full of energy and hardly any hunger feelings. I did however have a desire to bite into something, to feel or just hear a crunching noise! AND, this be a warning to newbies and not so newbies, I was completely taken by surprise by an elim! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
