Hi. It’s 6 am in here, London and I wanted to write my experiences since I’m on my 8th day as a first timer. From day one, I’m taking my potassium, magnesium, biotin, Centrum for women and b12 + I’m taking pinch of Himalayan salt now and then. (let’s keep that in mind) I don’t wanna sound pessimistic but I also wanna be clear. Nobody in my personal life knows that I’m water fasting and I also want to share my experience. I will try to explain my 7 day journey so here it goes:
At first couple of days I was really okay. I was a bit tired and woozy but my mind was clear and my stomach was feeling okay. Then on my 4th day I started to get nauseous a lot. My stomach was burning and it also was like in pain. I got headaches and I was a lot woozy comparing to my first 3 days. Also I got really cold and had to wear a jumper and wool socks with puffy home slippers. After that day, I always felt nauseous and my stomach was like on fire. I was always tired and get dry mouthed pretty often. And on my 8th day nothing changed, everything is same. In fact, today was my hardest day, because not only I had all the symptoms that I mentioned above, also I had a minor tachycardia. I was shaky and even my jaw started to shake a bit.I slowly drink water and tried to meditate so guess they helped. I’m not shaking anymore. The only issue I’m dealing with is my “beloved” tummy which is burning and keep making me nauseous with a passion. I don’t know what to do about it. I wanna take Nexium or Talcid but I know they’ll break my fast. I don’t wanna take acv because it may take my wild burn away but it can make me more nauseous since I don’t like the taste of vinegar. I also get diarrhea on alternate days but that’s normal I guess.
Other than that I don’t know what to say… I got urine keto tests and I’m on level 16 which is the highest and darkest one. My skin looks okay and I sleep pretty good. Like I didn’t get any “I can’t sleep” moments. I drink a cup of black coffee everyday and I smoke (I know this is awful, believe me I really do) 3-4 times.I brush my teeth + scrap my tongue with a tongue scrapper. I don’t get hungry. Much. Sometimes it kicks but I really can’t focus on my hunger with all of those symptoms I’m trying to fight. I drink almost 3 litres of water. I have no problem with it either. But my villain like stomach, my tiredness, my dry mouth and cold hands are fighting me with a fierce attitude and I don’t know how to get rid of them since I’m taking all my pills and supplements fully. Welp.
I don’t understand that why I’m like this when some people having energy bursts, experiencing euphoria, getting mind clarity and physical wellness. I don’t say people get them after 3 days magically but you know, they get them eventually. I don’t want all of these, I just want to get rid off my stomach’s meanie behavior. It lives in my body but makes my life almost miserable.It’s like a terrible terrible tenant and I’m its helpless landlord since I cannot cancel its contract. ^^
Sorry I wrote all rainy and cloudy but as I said before I just wanted to share. I don’t wanna give up. I don’t say “I am not a quitter” because well, we’re all human after all but I really tend to bite a bullet and try to go all the way through. In this situation, I really need to do this. And I’m glad that I’m doing this, don’t get me wrong. I didn’t expect sunshine, rainbows and unicorns but I just want a teeny tiny bit of a relief with my stomach. I wanna feel like I am okay, not like I’m recovering from a bad flu or something. I will still keep going, hopefully but I just crossed my fingers for myself because I don’t know what will I do if I keep getting worse and worse.
Good morning/day/night to you all and sending positive vibes and luck to your ways. Thank you for reading.
