Starting as soon as it gets here

crapbag · 2008-01-15 17:39:58

I got the shipment confirmation today, will start when it comes...

Background:

-28 year old female
-5'10" 174 lbs. I could stand to drop a few pounds.
-I'm semi-active, not as much as I should be. I go to the gym or workout anywhere from 1-5x a week. I ran 2 5K's and a 10K last year, doing a 5K next month. I want to train for a half marathon which is in October.
-Eating habits are OK. Lately I've been making more health-conscious choices. My significant other and I are starting to bring our lunch to work and buy more raw veggies as snacks, and trying to eat out less.
-I drink occasionally, but have been avoiding the beer or glass of wine after work that I used to sometimes have.
-My BM's are OK, some days I don't go but I probably do go about 4-5x a week.
-I have really bad gas sometimes. I mean it is STINKY. I think I'm lactose intolerant but I don't drink that much milk. I also think it's from other foods I am eating. Eating all these veggies lately is probably another culprit.
-My vice is a can of Starbucks Doubleshot Light or the Sbux Iced Coffee every morning. I don't know if I can or want to give that up.
-I chose my screen name because I thought it would be funny to have something with the word "crap" in it. I'm a FRIENDS (TV show) fan and one episode Phoebe's husband changed his name to Crapbag.

Updates soon....

It's here. But it's downstairs in the office of my apartment building and I can't get to it until tomorrow. I probably won't start it until Sunday or Monday as I'm going snowboarding Saturday and I don't think that's a good day to start...lol

crapbag · 2008-01-29 14:03:59

OK Day 1 finally.. here goes.

Got a late start this morning. I didn't know you should wait 15 minutes after taking the capsules to take the fiber, so I waited around to do that (originally was just going to take the stuff then drive to work ~15min drive).

8:45am - 2 paranil capsules.
9am - fiber mixed with pineapple orange juice. Not bad, not bad at all.
10am - took my vitamins (multi, B-50, and a chewable C)
10:15am - safeway "eating right" 100 calorie bar
12pm - a banana

So far I've drunk over a liter of water... which is not uncommon for me on a normal day.

Nothing yet. On the way to work I started feeling like I had the urge but it went away. I didn't go at all yesterday either.

Going to go for a jog now and then eat lunch. Will report back later.

Didn't have my usual doubleshot this morning. I'm scared about caffeine withdrawal headaches, bc I'm thinking I should try and cut out the caffeine during the cleanse.

crapbag · 2008-01-30 11:55:36

OK Day 1 is over. Nothing happened yesterday. 2 days without going, I'm sure I've done that before but I never kept track. I didn't go for a jog until around 5 and it was a quick 20 minute run. Then I went home and made dinner for a couple friends. Lemon spaghetti... also had wine and beer... at around midnight I made the tea.. steeped for 1 min. This morning I was exhausted but at around 7:45am I had to go. It took a while to get it all out. It was soft and it was stinkier than usual... lol.. Another late start today, took the pills at 8:15am and the fiber at 8:45am then headed to work... went again at work but this was a tiny one. like 2 little round things.... my stomach still feels a bit gurgly though. I'm drinkin tons of water...

crapbag · 2008-01-30 12:24:13

I keep feeling like I need to go but I either sit there and it's just gas or they're little tiny guys. But damn its stinky..

crapbag · 2008-01-30 14:44:10

So far today I have eaten

9am Doubleshot light (yup... couldn't resist)
10 am Banana
11:30 am oatmeal

I have also taken my vitamins.

Gone to the bathroom 4 times but the last 3 times it was just gas and little things.

Have been experiencing some slight cramping all morning.

crapbag · 2008-01-31 23:23:15

Day 3 Afternoon

I've been feeling a little under the weather since I got home from work. I thought I was just hungry but I ate and I still feel kind of bad... low energy, tired. Maybe it's all the extra crapping I still have slight cramping/headache. Plan: tea, shower, bed..... TGIF tomorrow

crapbag · 2008-02-01 10:27:16

Day 4 Begins...

I haven't gone yet this morning (it is 8:30am).

However, one thing I noticed this morning is that I had some gas and it didn't smell! Either I lost my sense of smell or it really doesn't smell...

So last night we went out for my sister's birthday so I kind of fell off the "trying to eat healthy" wagon. I consumed a lot of beer too... when we got home I was really tired and my sister made the tea for me. I was too tired to drink it but I did take 2 sips and coincidentally right after that I had to go (I'm sure I would have had to anyways). She finished off the cup and I asked her if she went this morning and she said she did and it was softer than usual.... love that I can talk about crap with my sister, lol.

Only 1 BM today, regardless, I decided to skip the KleriTea tonight partly out of laziness and partly to mix things up a bit.. since I'm already semi-regular anyways.. I haven't felt too bloated or full since changing to the full scoop of fiber...

Day 8 Tuesday

7:45 am 4 Paranil capsules
8:15 am Full scoop fiber w/ pineapple O.J.

Haven't eaten anything yet, No BM yet.... maybe I should steep the tea longer... or cut back on the fiber... or should I keep with the full scoop a couple of days and see what happens?

bettypoop · 2008-02-05 20:14:36

Hey...
kinda like me ..so my suggestions:
- make sure you get a lot of water after your fibre
- try to steep your tea for longer before changing your fibre amounts. I went from 2min to 4 minutes to 8 minutes to 10 minutes to 12 minutes..haha...so don't be scared to try it out. Worse comes to worse you'll get slight cramps in the morning and get rid of them after a watery poo and then you'll know you overdid it.

My 2 cents.

crapbag · 2008-02-06 01:02:21

Thanks for the suggestions bettypoop. How much water should I drink after the fiber? I drank like 8 oz today immediately after and then drank another liter before lunch time.

Day 8 Tuesday - continued

9am - 11am Snacked on banana chips and a couple of baby carrots... didn't really have breakfast.. due to a few reasons.
11:30am Small cup of coffee
12:15pm 4 slices pizza and a Diet Coke
6:00 pm Baja chicken burrito w/ no cheese and chips and a Coors Light
8:00 pm A slice of cake with apple filling that my friend made
10:45 pm KleriTea steeped for 8 minutes

My diet today sucked... meant to steep KleriTea for only slightly longer 5-6 minutes but forgot about it. No BM today (at least not yet).

Just read your entries. Wasn't sure about joining but I thought since I am starting on Friday (hopefully) maybe you could confirm and maybe give suggestions as I go through my first week too.

crapbag · 2008-02-06 12:35:19

Hi buzztedstuf0203,

I don't really have any good suggestions for you except to go ahead and start and see what happens... drink 2 liters of water a day... that's about it for my suggestions.. it works different for everyone.. I'm still working out what's best for me as well.

You should report your results in a separate thread, you don't have to do it like me where you break it down to every detail, but just to give others an idea of what people go through and to keep track for yourself how you are feeling on the product.

Good luck!

crapbag · 2008-02-07 12:12:12

Day 9 Wednesday Continued.... somewhat successful! Finally had a BM.

10:45 am Half a bagel w/ cream cheese, small cup of coffee
11:15 am Finally! A BM. This one was quite large with a couple of things stuck in it. Wasn't really about to poke around but one resembled half a peanut and the other was some gray thing.
1:30 pm Chinese chicken salad
2:30 pm Snacked on a few banana chips and baby carrots
5:15 pm Started jogging and felt the urge
5:30 pm 2nd BM softer and more broken apart kind of diarrhea like, one piece smaller, blacker and looked harder than all the rest.
5:50 pm Baby carrots and broccoli
6:00 pm Banana Colada Fuze (half of a bottle)
9:00 pm Half a bag of trail mix
9:45 pm Container of Applesauce
11:00 pm KleriTea steeped for 7 minutes

Around 9:00 pm I started getting a cramp in my left side. The tea relieved it a little but it was still there. It's still there this morning. I've eaten a bagel and drank some coffee to try to move things along. and of course tons of water (a liter so far). Actually as I'm writing this the cramp has kind of subsided but I still feel like somethings there.. hopefully this is a big day for me lol.

Something I've noticed.

On Monday when I didn't have a BM I woke up exhausted and went to sleep exhausted and woke up Tuesday exhausted again. But yesterday after having 2 BM's I wasn't exhausted when I went to sleep, but I was able to sleep easily. And the same this morning....when I woke up I wasn't super tired. My hours of sleep haven't really changed. May be a coincidence but just something I noticed..

crapbag · 2008-02-07 13:39:37

8:15 am 1 scoop Fiber w/ Pineapple O.J.

10:15 am 1st BM kind of soft but diarrhea like again. Still had a slight cramp afterwards.
11:15 am Apple cinnamon instant oatmeal mixed with plain oats

Still feel crampy in that one spot and kind of bloated now... and I kind of have that metallic taste in my mouth that bettypoop was talking about. Hope it goes away soon.
