My Adventures on a Fast day and Eating Breakfast

<h1> <b>Fasting </b> </h1>

 

 

<div>        This Sunday was a Jewish fast day, and, without getting into unrelated details, it started before 4 AM and ended after 9 PM.  Because I often do things contrary to what anyone else would do, I decided to fast just 10 days post op. (Pretty stupid, huh?) Well, the fast went very well, (almost no dizziness, nausea, or tiredness) but the trying to eat after the fast didn't go so well. </div>

 

<div>       My family and I usually have a meal that is somewhat big after a fast, not as elaborate as some Iftar feasts (Ramadan Karim to anyone observing!), but there definitely is food.  I made the mistake of trying to eat a meal akin to a lunch immediately after the fast. (Bad habits die hard!)  Needless to say, I had to drink a lot of water just so that I felt ok enough to move on with my night. </div>

 

<div>       <i> Lesson learned:  Note to self: </i> <b> Make believe that right after a fast is breakfast!! </b> </div>

 

<div>       You might be saying, "Duh! It's called <i> break-fast </i> for a reason, idiot!" Well, I guess I'm not that smart. </div>

 

<div>      Which brings me to another point, I have had some trouble eating breakfast.  I've gotten a little too ambitious trying scrambled eggs, and I couldn't eat much of it.  But today, I had cream of wheat with Walden Farms sugar free pancake syrup and cinnamon. It was really good, and I was able to tolerate it. </div>

 

<div>       Anyone have similar experiences? Please comment below. </div>
