Day 12

[Trem]

Was a very long day for me. Sick with flu, still constipated and feeling like crap. The only good thing about today was I felt too sick and didn't feel any cravings. I'm just taking ! Day at a time. Any help with the constipation would be appreciated

Hey Jenny, Day 12, almost 2 weeks!  

Sorry you are not feeling great, it is to be expected to feel this way when we quit for a few weeks but additional things like flu and constipation must be very irritating and uncomfortable with all that is going on....

My suggestion for the constipation, would be a tablespoon of olive oil with a teaspoon of lemon juice (optional just to add taste to it), first thing in the morning on an empty stomach is ideal, if not in the morning, try it a few hours after eating, should see immediate improvement, lemon juice and warm water is also good.

So amazing, 12 days is truly fantastic, after reading posts it would seem constipation is indeed another symptom of quitting, may be have a word with your pharmacist. They may be able to help.

But would just like to add doing truly fantastic, just keep going look forward to your updates.

Keep going, all good and nothing bad

Nearly two weeks - that's great. Those first two weeks are the hardest - you have already achieved an enormous amount. The constipation and flu like feelings are normal and will go soon. Keep going
