2019 Fast 3.0 - I broke my fast at 190 hours (8th day)

After almost 8 days (190hrs) I decided to break my Dry Fast. This was the longest Dry Fast I ever done till today. I was aiming for the 200hrs, I was so close. However, in the morning - while I was driving around my parents - I felt my eyes really dry, I couldn't even see very well; so worried I thought it was time to end this journey.
I broke the Dry Fast with a bit of baking soda and ACV, waited half hour or so and started to drink water. My kidneys were hurting me a bit, I had a BM right away, not a pleasant one. But what was more concerning to me is that I got an UTI right away, with blood in my urine and a strong burning sensation. I'm sure I was dehydrated - but it's so fascinating to me to see how, in the presence of water, all infections come back to life! I t was also a cold snowy day, it might have affected the overall reaction. I didn't have any type of food that day, just plenty of water. I had to work in the afternoon, so I was a bit concerned on eating anything that could cause and urgent need to use the bathroom. The afternoon working was demanding, by the end of the night I was drained, my arms felt really weak bringing around those big trays, but I managed to do it after all. The day after I reported 1Kg water weight gain, which it was expected I guess. After almost 8 days without water my body was holding as much as it could! On Sunday - Refeeding Day #2 - I had a papaya smoothie and a broccoli soup, all of that made me gain another 2lb unfortunately, I should also count the food in my bowel, since I didn't have any BM in those 2 days. Yesterday (day #3 after breaking the DF) I had stomach issues; I guess, as my usual, I ate too much and my shrinked stomach didn't like it. I tried to have mostly liquids in these past 3 days, but I don't think I achieved my goal. Today I wanted to start again another round of a Dry Fast but I feel my mouth really dry, that's a sign that I still need water to be able to begin a new prolonged Dry Fast. It's really easy gaining weight, sure after no food, no water I should have just a tiny meal here and there, without stuffing myself like a pig. This morning I was back on 67.7Kg on my scale, which is devastating for me!

Reloading My 2019 Fast - Dry/Water Fast Day #7/#8

So after 160hrs, during my Dry Fast Day #7, I broke my Fast with water. What a bummer. After my eye surgery I went back home and my mouth was so dry, I could barely talk. I couldn't resist to the desire to drink some fresh water.
Apart from my dry mouth, all my vitals were good - I didn't sleep more than 3 hours that night but I wasn't feeling tired or sleepy at all. In the contrary, after starting sipping on water, I felt so tired I had to lye in bed for most of the day. Right after drinking some water I had a lower abdominal pain and a BM, maybe I drunk the water too quickly, but it was so good drinking again that I didn't actually pay attention on how much water I was ingesting. Ideally you want to start very very slowly with water, sipping here and there only. At least for the first few hours. My sleep was much better last night, I think I slept at least 5 hours, which is a lot considering the previous nights. This morning I didn't feel very energetic, believe it or not I was feeling better during the Dry Fast. My scale reported 1Kg more than yesterday - I was expecting this gain, my body is now retaining as much water as it can! This morning after drinking a half glass of water I had again a pain in my lower abdomen, followed by another bowel movement. I don't mind cleaning up my bowel anyway, hopefully next time it comes without pain! My plans are to start again soon another Dry Fast, it is definitely better than anything else for me. Not sure why this time around my mouth was so dry, I never had this feeling before, but then again: every Fast is different from the other one. So, after breaking my Dry Fast I'm now trying to hydrate myself, as much as I can. I still feel a dry mouth if I don't drink for few hours. No I'm sipping on a glass of 30% coconut water and 70% smart water, hopefully it will boost my hydration without compromising much my Ketosis. Strangely when I drink I feel suddenly a slight pain in my Kidneys area, maybe they're slowly waking up, I should have started with the Baking Soda / ACV mix to remove some acidity from my Kidneys, not sure if I'm saying something that makes sense though. Let's see how long it will take me to feel hydrated again.
Dry Fast Day #7 - 66.6 Kg (Dry Fast broken with Water only)
