I would recommend doing the flush on Friday night.

This way you won't ruin your entire weekend and still have time to do some stuff.

Saturday morning you will have "the runs" but if you eat oatmeal and a banana it will bind you so you can enjoy the rest of your day........we are usually in slow motion......get the groceries done and that's about it......

Sunday you will feel better although a little tired but able to go out and get a few things done you will just feel very peaceful and Monday you should be perfecto!!

we were loaded with new found energy the weeks after the flush. Same with the 2nd. I'm doing my 3rd today......eating oatmeal and apples.......

at least that's how it works w/my hubby and myself.

Good Luck!

tips or tricks that have helped us tremendously:

1. eat your non fat meal around 1:30 so you still feel full around 6 pm.

2. sweeten your grapefruit, Epsom Salt drink with 8 packets or more of Stevia or Xylitol.

3. Same for he Olive-Oil drink, sweeten and put in the blender and blend it till it's creamy and drink through a straw and take 8 orthinine. I took 8 and my hubby took 2 or 4 and I was asleep in 5 minutes and slept through the night and he was up till the weeeee hours.

4. I wouldn't even bother using the colander the first night, wait till the 2nd day to see stones as you are still emptying your food and all you get is a giant pile in the collander........YUCK, and messy. Next day is better it's clearer and liquid.

What normally happens to me is that the day after the OO (Olive-Oil) I reserve as a day off for myself meaning that I do not give myself any tasks before hand. The 'toilet dependency' can last till 5pm but in and of itself that is not the biggest deal of the day after.

Often I am up and about, cleaning my house, doing some shopping, meeting with friends etc. but it can also happen that I am in bed with low energy and headache. You never know. What I have noticed that if I drink huge amounts of water the morning after (about 2 liters of water before 12) I am better off. The second day I am feeling a bit weak, sometimes sore around the liver area, and my energy is a bit backward. I suppose going to work would be ok although I have never actually done that; I always do my flushes on Friday to give myself enough time to recover. I feel fully recovered from the flushes about 3-4 days later but only the first day can be a day out of commission. But everyone is an individual and every flush is different, so you need to find it out for youself.

Good luck, if you feel scared, educate yourself more before you do your flush. I feel that you should do your flush feeling excited and curious of what will happen and take the possible discomfort as part of the deal. If you educate yourself more, your fears will disappear.

I only felt a little wiped out (tired, listless a bit) after my first flush. I've done 20 some, and never felt tired except after that first one. Don't be scared - it's actually kind of fun, believe it or not.

You will make several trips to the loo, so don't plan anything for the morning after you drink the oil... :)
