I did my first one last Friday and it was not as bad as I thought it would be, except for a headache and burning butt pee the next day! I couldn't believe how much better I felt the next evening. All the fears I had about vomiting the olive oil/grapfruit mixture were for nothing.
First thing in the morning, I passed probably 20-30 small green stones and also lots of gravel-like stuff (which I assume was stones broken down by all the GCG), later I passed larger grey-green stones. They were very irregular in shape. (I could not bring myself to "collect" anything.) Lots more gravel and tiny pieces of stuff. The pain in my shoulder COMPLETELY disappeared. I have not had NO pain in that area for almost THREE years! My liver area was sore, but I used Castor oil and heat, which seemed to help almost right away. I didn't have the boost of energy everyone talks about, because my headache was so bad, but I felt good that I tried something and it worked. I also felt good for taking control of myself.
By Saturday night, I was completely recovered, feeling drained, but good.
Yesterday, the discomfort in my shoulder started to come back. I haven't really had any other gall bladder symptoms, but I am learning to listen to what my body is telling me. I wasn't planning to do another flush until January 14th. Would it be too soon to do another this weekend or should I wait until next weekend?
