I had no idea that I even had them and, for the first few days, I didn't even realize they were stones that I was dropping. One day I looked into the toilet, wondering what strange hard things I was passing with such abundance and, to my total incredulity, I realized that they looked a lot like the pictures I had seen. Had it not been for the fact that I had been fasting so long I would have just thought it was old poo and never given it another thought.
I'm going for 30 days.
This is my first long fast in years...the last two were 3 and 15 years ago and lasted 11 and 13 days, respectively. All of this (the wild results coming out of days 11 onward) are completely new to me.
