Can fasting help break a plateau??

I am 5 months out from open RNY, and my weight loss is really slowing down. I have lost almost a 100 pounds, but lately I keep having a lot of plateaus. I still have at least 50 more pounds to lose. Can fasting for 24 hours once a week help? I read somewhere that it might. I am also finding out that I can eat a lot more than I used to. ( I was transected and given the ring) I can actually eat 4 chicken nuggets at one sitting now! I feel so bad about that. Can fasting shrink your pouch back down a little...at least temporarily?? I am exercising, and getting all my water and most days come very close to getting all my protein in. I dont understand why my weight loss is starting to slow down so much! Will fasting occasionally hurt me or help me? Thanks for any advice! (open RNY 7/23/02 -95 lbs)
