orange juice never tasted so good. so i broke out the ol' juicer, had my 2 bags of organic oranges (about 20-24 total) and juiced away. i cut it half and half with some poland spring and it gave me about 2 liters of fresh OJ. we've made juice before, usually a last ditch effort to save produce from getting wasted, and my one complaint is its SOOO damn messy. not so much the act of juicing, but the cleanup. pulp on everything. but hell, i wouldve cleaned up all the juicers on my street this morning if it meant not drinking that lemon asswater.
so the fast is officially over, although i didnt break down this morning and eat one of the pretzel nuggets thats been staring at me on the counter for 11 days. it was tempting but to go this far, i'd hate to screw up my system now and possibly prevent me from really eating this weekend. i DID bring my vegetable broth to the office though because i really dont know how im going to get through today on about half the juice im used to... i might make a cup of the just the broth, no veggies or rye crackers, and have that this afternoon if i feel good up until then. tomorrow ill have the broth with veggies and some rye crackers though.
thats about it for now i guess. everything is status quo... and thank god the salt water flushes are a thing of the past... i was almost on time to work today.

congrats! i am so happy for you that it is over, tho. good luck with the eating thing...
Vanilla ice cream. That was the first food I tasted after my surgery and subsequent recovery, and after 11 days the sweetness was crazy enhanced. Actually, all the hospital food never tasted so good. I can imagine what that OJ must have been like for you.
Congrats on making it through your fast!
YOU ROCK Joe Pa!! I am SO impressed. I hope the lasting effects are everything you hoped for.
