Guess what?? I look about 4 months pregnant! This Colon Cleanse has not cleansed a thing yet, but this stuff puffs up your stomach and I seriously look pregnant! I showed my Boyfriend my stomach last night and he wanted me to go to the hospital and get myself checked out because I'm so huge right now! Seriously, if I wasn't on my monthly cycle right now, I would be freaked out! I'm am praying for a really effective bathroom trip in the near future to fix this big ol tummy! I followed the Cleanse directions exactly, but after alot of google-ing I find that I should have started out using a much smaller amount of Psyllium in the beginning to get my system used to it. This Psyllium Husk when mixed with water swells up 16 to times its normal size, and there are 2 days worth ( at 3 doses per day) all swelled up in my digestive track right now! It is supposed to form a very thick gel like substance that cleans out your intestinal and colon walls taking junk that has been stuck in there for a long while with it when it exits your body into the toilet bowl, well problem is... NOTHING has exited my body yet! So all sorts of things have gone through my mind like, wow, do I have an obstructed bowel? Or did my gastric bypass surgery make this stuff too hard to pass through my body? Yeah, I'm freaking out just a little bit here. So I'm drinking lots of fluids to try to hurry this process up, 2 huge mugs of hot tea last night before bed, and I'm getting ready for my second mug of steamy hot coffee this morning! I'm really waiting for the saying... this too shall pass... to apply to me! LOL! I'm also so damn swollen that I don't have room for food! I eat a couple bites and I'm uncomfortable! So I'm drinking protein shakes and eating protein bars all yesterday and I managed to handle a yummy grapefruit with stevia! Well, friends..... wish me some relief please!!
