Step 1 Sole Source + Running to the toilet!!!

[Harper'sMummy]

I am on my first day and I think I have been to the toilet more times today than I have in the past year... Does this get any better? Will I be going this much everyday? Ahhhhh

 

[froggylegs]

I am on day 22 and have never peed as much in my life and unfortunately it continues all through the night for me, I am up 4 and sometimes 5 times every single night

 

[supermummyd]

Nice...four to five times per night...that's like in pregnancy all over again....haha.

Three months in and it's calmed down a lot. I go hiking a couple of times a week for 3 hours, and I used to have to stop (in the middle of a field) at least three times. Now I'm able to go a whole walk without peeing! ;-) You'll pee more than you used to, definitely, because your body doesn't have to extract water the way it does with food, but it *does* decrease. There's a light at the end of the tunnel!

I forgot how much you pee lol, 4 days with a good water intake and I'm sick of it.... Been using a different cubicle each time just to add variety! Wore a belt other day and oh boy that was a pain in the backside!

 

[Harper'sMummy]

Yeah I didn't factor in the whole what goes in must come out thing and we had swimming and shopping and my partner got pretty over it pretty quick! I didn't get up during the night but I made sure I finished my 3L before I had my dinner so I could have a green tea after dinner then get it al out before bed.

I think I'm peeing more than when I was pregnant!! It's a joke!! Gotta start all over again today haha

 

[Harper'sMummy]

Crazydiamond I like your thinking... Unluckily I'm at home so I only have the choice of one toilet! Haha

It does calm down a bit.....although I did have to get up once in the night a few days ago lol x

 

[Harper'sMummy]

I think I just sleep through it because I have a one year old and sleep is valuable haha

 

[BettyOnSea]

It's worth it tho. I'm only on day four and already my skin snaps back on the back of my hand...before it shrank back like an old lady's. wahooo!

 

[shaz29]

Me too day 2 and peeing like a camel!!! Lol

 

[Harper'sMummy]

Has anyone found it hard to maintain the high water intake on a busy day or a day when you know it will be harder to go more often?

 

[froggylegs]

Its harder on a busy day but I always make sure I have had about 1500 before I go out (i am usually up around 6am so that is quite easy for me) and I take 500mls with me to drink in the car and always stop at some point for a large decaf or more water so I still manage to fit it all in

 

[Harper'sMummy]

That's a good plan... get it all in, in the morning. I always end up trying at the end of the night to finish it haha

 

[northernlight84]

I try to get a lot in first thing, and then another litre in the evening. I'm a bit rubbish at spreading it through the day!
