I only got as far as a few sips of the first juice. Actually, let me back up. I went to bed with nausea and I woke up with nausea + a major headache which means = dehydration. For the first 5 hours, I drank tons of water trying to rehydrate myself. It was of no use. I had to have Tyler take me into the ER to get some IV fluids. I was perplexed how a diet of juice, water, and Choffy was dehydrating my body. But it was. And the doctor told me that I needed to modify the diet for my body. So now I am drinking 2 juices a day plus eating regularly. I am disappointed that I couldn't do the cleanse as it is - but I am trying to be realistic in the fact that my body just couldn't handle it like that in its current state. I wonder if I could build up to being on the cleanse, but for now I will be happy to improve my health with vitamins and minerals from many vegetables that I would never buy, let alone eat. So that, alone, is progress for me.
