Fast hour 47: I'm a little surprised it's taking this long for my body to give up all the solid waste in my system. Not to bombard you all with the details of my bowel movements, but I'm normally set-your-watch regular -- and yet, 47 hours after my last meal, it still comes.

Fast hour 47.5: Huh. Just took a hot shower and now I'm feeling all muscle-weakness and hunger and icky again. Odd. Most of that had passed sometime yesterday. Still, I feel surprisingly clearheaded. Just a little fuzziness and lightness. Wish my hands would stop shaking, though.

Pix or it didn't happen.

Actually, I think this might be one time that I don't need to see photos.

Hello! Random person coming to you with poop-facts! (I saw your post on my friends-of-friends list, hope you don't mind a comment. :) ) The average person has three days of poop inside of them! Long ago, my science teacher described it like a train with two cars: When a new car arrives at the back, it pushes the forwardmost car out, so there are always three cars.

*the more you know~*

Remember, it's all one connected system. Not to mention being basically one long tube. The act of eating and introducing food into your digestive system provides stimulation for the motion of your bowels. It stimulates muscle contraction and movement of the contents of your bowels. So when you stop stimulating that system all you are left with is what they call 'mass movements', which is like your entire system having a big squeeze, which occur a few times a day. This results in slower passage of waste material.

Ease tick the box if this answered your query.
