The FastDay Forum

Hi, I have scheduled bladder sling surgery on May 21. I am fasting number 4 today. Is it safe to keep doing the fasting right up until my surgery. I am not very over weight, just slightly, I'm mainly fasting for health benefits and to have better ageing. I only fast mon/thurs and go roughly 33-35 hours on 500cals.

thanks

I am sure some of the more medically savvy folk on here i.e. Caroline et al, will be able to give you good advice on this one. My own thoughts are that it should be O.K. As they usually starve you before surgery anyway, do they not?

I wish you well and hope you make a good and speedy recovery, oh, and let us know how it goes,

Good luck,

I should think it would be a good thing actually. Don't you have to fast before the surgery anyway? Keeping practiced will help with that. Plus fasting may improve nerve health and so may help with detrusor problems if you have those too.

Good luck!
