I'm trying to do this colon cleanse thing. I've been looking into them for about a year... ever since i found out my colon SUCKS and was seeing the poop doctor and all (yeah, i feel like an 80 year old). I tried one last summer... well, if you call "trying" giving up after one dose of the drink thing. It was SO disgusting... the powder foam stuff (that you mix in a drink) foams up totally fast, and you're supposed to try to down it before it's a huge mess. I tried to do it and got about a forth of it in me then started dry heaving and puked. It was seriously the most grodey and sick thing ever. So, I gave up for a while. There is no way in hell that I was going to do one of those ones that has you starve yourself for 10 days, only drinking these green tea, grapefruit, lemon, flax seed, castor oil smoothies (or whatever). How those ones appeal to anyone is beyond me!
Well, I had my surgery last October and have been cleared by the poop doc. Still, I have struggles with my bowels and being "regular," so I have been thinking about a cleanse again. I found one where you don't have to restrict anything from your diet (YAY), you take a fiber supplement drink in the morning, and take an acidophilus type supplement with food. It is for 7 days, so I'm like "no big deal!" You are supposed to drink lots-o-water... and that's always kindof been a thing for me - I pretty much suck at drinkin enough water. But, it's been going better, so I figured this might me extra motivation to pound the fluids. We'll see.
Here goes...
Just took the first drink packet... yeah... super gross. I got it all down and drank a full glass of water afterward (like I'm supposed to), and....
MY TUMMY HURTS!!
It's probably expanding the guts out of my tum tum!!
MAN!! This sucks! My doc even recommended that I try to do one of these stupid things... but they are the pits! I guess this one's not as bad as the other one, and it's only drinking that sick-o drink once a day... so I think I can do it... but GOSH!! Why would people do these things all the time... CRAZINESS!!
If this doesn't help my poor lil' colon, I'm gonna be mad. Hmm...
I'll need to keep my eye on the ball I guess... here goes nothin'!
Wish me luck....

Sorry, you're feeling 'crappy' hehehehohoho ;) I totally identify, girl, as you know after reading my blog. It seriously sucks. I have heard so many conflicting things about colon cleansing I don't even know what to think... But I hope it is helpful for ya!
Dang, Sheryl--I am so sorry you are going through that! However, I am just fascinated by some those cleansers--I can't believe some of the pictures on those websites of what people rid their bodies of after the cleanse. Is it for real? If it works--post some great pictures! lol. Hope it goes well and that you feel rejuvenated. Isn't it supposed to give you energy too? Can't wait to hear the results! :) You just might convince me to do one too if it works for you! Best of luck and I hope you can stomach the stuff.
Hooray for blog spying!!!
