Do not worry, I had the same, just be patient and sip Water every 5-10 minutes.

It is individually, for some people yes.

I also cannot have a bowel movement. Been drinking "smooth move" herbal tea today and I just took a suppository.

Keep a Water by your bed at night too. If u get thirsty in the middle of the night take a sip.

I was in panic mode just a few days out, too. That problem went away by about Day 6/7. It's been 3 weeks now and I feel awesome! Also 27 lbs down. Stick with the liquids as long as you can! It's so worth it.
