Now to me dextox experience. I did 1.5 cups of olive oil chased by lime juice as I drank 1/4 cup every fifteen minutes. I held my nose and drank some pineapple juice before releasing my nose. I could not get down the two full cups as recommended by some. I laid on my bed for rest of evening watching t.v. I didn't want to move too much because I felt that if I did, I would throw up.
I was not able to fall asleep until 1:30 a.m. I woke up around 7:30 a.m. with the desire to have a bm. I felt really, really nauseas as I got up from bed. I found 8 to 10 large stones with 5-15 smaller ones. I really felt nauseas after that and threw up quite a bit of olive oil. It was not a good experience. I felt extremely weak but much better after throwing up.
I made some rooibos tea to help settle my stomach and feel asleep for a couple of hours on the couch this morning. When I awoke a few hours later, I had another bm. I wasn't in the mood to inspect to closely. Throughout the day I had 3 more bms, each showing evidence of stone-like masses.
My wife and went to the gym in the afternoon after I we went to jamba juice. We state in the dry sauna for 20 minutes and I finished with 30 minutes on the eliptical. Did not have the energy to do much more today. I got home and had a glass of fresh apple juice and laid down for a couple of hours.
At this point, I don't think I will be doing another cleanse in the immediate future. I will see how I feel in the next couple of days. I have lost about 13 pounds since last monday and I am thinking I will stop juice fasting whenever I reach 195 lbs. At my present rate, it could be next Thursday or Friday. I want to start eating solid fruits and vegatables for 7-10 days so my body can stablize between 195-199, I then I would start another juice fast to knock off another 15 pounds. I am 5'7", so I am shooting for a weight of 158-162 lbs.
