Christians and fasting???

I'm one year post op as of 3/1/05 and am down 125 pounds. I'm stuck but I'm not worried because I know what to do to get it moving again... Protein, water, exercise... I'm just thankful at the difference this past year has made. I just want to have a tummy tuck to get this access weight from around my waist. I am a size 16/18 which is where my husband and I agreed to stop. I am a few pounds below my doctors goal weight for me and 10 pound over my own personal goal weight for myself is. I'm happy. My question to all christians... How does fasting affect us now??? can we do a complete fast with only water? Or do a fast with only protein drinks? I feel like I'm starving when I miss a meal now. but I know I need to get back to some kind of fast... Any thoughts? Thanks, Sarah

Since sugery my blood sugar is low. If I don't eat I could get really sick. I don't think God wants that - I am 100% positive that He wants me to be as healthy as possible. So I am demonstrating my faith through other means. Good luck, Jen

I, too, gave up fasting after surgery. If I don't eat, I become very shaky and nauseous. If you have your heart set on fasting, perhaps you could supplement your water with chicken broth. Of course, I would check with your surgeon beforehand to get his/her opinion. HTH, and God bless! -Marcie

I know I am late in responding to this...but I am going to fast just as I should and as I would have before. I do not get sick and my blood sugar does not drop or anything of that nature. For me I know I will be really hungry but that is the sacrafice that I am making and the purpose. Each person is different though, so be careful that something will not happen to you medically. I wish you the best. Elizabeth M
