Poop

Ok, well, off to a rough start here...

I woke up at around 8:30 and prepared to drink my salt water. Oh my god, it's disgusting!!! It's a quart of water with two teaspoons of non-iodized sea salt mixed in. My friend said she would chug a pint at a time to get through it. I seriously don't know how! I couldn't! It took me about 10 to 15 minutes to drink it all. I hope it gets easier with time (the book claims it does).

So, the book ALSO says that a 1/2 hour to an hour later you should start having to shit and that the shitting should last about the same amount of time. I fell back asleep after the salt water and an hour later I woke up and still nothing. My roommate woke up and then we started watching John From Cincinnati (SO FUCKING WEIRD) and a little bit into that I FINALLY had to poo. Must have been... a little over two hours after I drank it. I think I went to the bathroom around 4 times so far. It seems to have subsided a little bit right now, but I'm not going to leave my house for AT LEAST another hour, to be sure.

As for the shitting...yeah, it's pretty gross...it...well, to be blunt, it kind of just POURS out of you! Insane. Worse than any diarrhea I've ever had! But it IS quick, though.

I don't know about you (you meaning anybody that reads this which might only be one...), but my shits aren't quick. I hate shitting b/c it takes me a little bit. Plus I don't shit very often, not every day...maybe every two days? So this is kind of good.

I'm glad I feel comfortable enough with my flatmates that I can talk about this though (they're both boys). After the first one, I said it smelled and I had to get air freshener and he said we had Febreeze, so I put that in the bathroom. I'm hoping after few days of only having lemonade, it'll smell less bad.

I just remembered, the first poo came on after drank my first lemonade (well, not TECHNICALLY my first, I made one last week to try it). I wonder if it helped...

All I know is, it better quicken up, or I'm going to be getting to work REAL late the next two weeks...

Poop out, ya'll!
