Fasting poses a challenge to people who have undergone
metabolic surgery. Religious and spiritual fasting manifests
in Judaism, Buddhism and Islam. Some currently fast for
detoxification, which is an emerging dietary habit. A total
fast (all forms of nourishment including liquids) during long
summer days puts these patients at risk of dehydration and
poor calorie and nutrient intake. Currently, there is scant
data about the effect of fasting on glucose and nutritional
intake. Due to the lack of guidelines, health care providers
have been giving conflicting advice regarding the most
appropriate measures for people who have undergone
bariatric surgery wishing to fast. In this presentation, we will
highlight the nutritional intake, hunger and satiety level. We
will provide a summary on the management of diabetes,
medication and nutritional intake.
