thanks to both you and fonty for your replies. i thought my banana protein shake was doomed! ;)
thanks for all the advice - i just really want to do my refeeding right since i am hoping that i won't have any difficulties introducing juices and foods because this time i intend to fast through to completion. i also want to make sure i reduce as much as possible any fluid accumulation during refeeding.
however, today is day 18 and i have been feeling very, very B-L-A-H for the past 3 days - my eyes are so red and sore they look like they are seriously infected (i suspect it is just a sign of toxins clearing?). also i have strange and violent noises coming from my torso! hopefully it will all pass in the next day or so...because fasting isn't all that much fun when you are experiencing intense healing crises!
