I passed for a few days and then stopped,but I continued with the shakes to make sure I was 100% cleaned out and just to make my cleansing the best I could. At that point I was 30 lbs heavier and I REALLY needed to clean my system out. But once I passed the ropes it pretty much just switched over to a sludgy like. So yea for me it stopped. I am about ready to go my second round and I hope I can pass them again. Melanie =)
