yah, the name 'ropes' doesn't sound too good for something that's suppose to come out of your body! but no, it's not like that...altho the visions of it can be funny!
i too hated drinking water..i still don't like it but adding some lemon really helps as i prefer to drink things on the acidic side of things...i can just hear someone telling me now i have to alkalize my body more (lemon does that)!
coffee is my love, especially in the morning with some coconut flavour to it...SORRY! (but it makes the environment in your gut too acidic!)
it's my 6th day and i want to eat! but i'm not. i'm still waiting to pass more....and waiting...and waiting...i'm becoming a prune juice addict!
