I fasted for only 36 hours. I had only zero calorie liquids.
Now after fasting, when I finally ate a few crackers (to slowly ease myself back into eating) ten minutes afterward, for about 5 minutes I experienced chest pain and a pounding and racing heart.
Now it's nearly an hour later and I'm eating noodles with broth. I am also extremely thirsty. I drank one bottle of crystal lite, downed the broth and am on my second bottle of crystal lite.
Could I be dehydrated even though I drank tons of liquids during my fast??
Thanks :)
I know fasting doesn't do much but it makes me feel more in control. It also doesn't make me binge so don't worry about that.

I would venture to say that that is a normal after affect because you have been depriving your body from food and basically starving yourself, which leads to dehydration like you said. Just slowly work your way in from not eating anything, and eat small things like crackers. Try drinking and eating fruit drinks for the time being until it starts to feel better. You probably just need to have some sugars in your system before you start to digest food.

I don't have any fruit or juice :( that's why I'm eating noodles and broth. We have almost nothing here right now.

after you're finished fasting I would only drink juices and eat very little fruit such as grapes.

no, I was just going to say that if they knew you could ask them to buy that for you.
Mkayy sorry if I sounded bitchy.
Would vegetables work ok for next time? We always have lots of veggies.

Just take eating slowly for now until your body is used to digesting it again. Luckily 36 hours isn't that much. :]
Why were you fasting anyway?

Idk. I don't eat much anyway and fasting is like an accomplishment for me.

Fasting shouldn't be an accomplishment for you at all, do you realize how harmful it can be for you?...
