Is there anyone here who is Jewish?

Hey I know I'm kinda late on here but just found this thread and was wondering if anyone here fasted on Yom Kippur when they were 5 mos out? My nutritionist said not to but I'm orthodox not sure what to do

I suggest asking your local Rabbi

Also, read this article, it might be helpful.

@@Alex Brecher remember even on Yom Kippur it is acceptable not to fast if it is deemed medically necessary. This counts!

I agree with you 100%!

Hi. I'm in Alabama. I had the sleeve but during emergency surgery was converted to rny. (There is no religious forum for rny). Anyway, I'm 10 months out, list 95 lbs. curious about Pesach. Which is better, wine or grape juice? I've never drank 4 CUPS, so it will only be 4 sips. But between that, charoset, and matzoh it's going to be interesting to say the least. Thanks

If you are only going to be having sips instead of cups, you should be fine either route you decide. Isn't Pass Over around August? If you are 10 months now, you'll be well past the year mark by then. The alcohol will not be a risk by that time. It may burn a little like normal alcohol, but not the stinging discomfort of a new patient. And the sugar content of grape juice would not likely cause you dumping syndrome.

I make kiddush on Welch grape juice, I mix it with half water. And of course I do a couple of small tiny sips.

I posted your question to a Kosher Gastric Sleeve group and this was the response I received from one of the members:

"When I was a couple weeks out. According to my rav. the 4 cups I had 3 oz cup drank within 3 min if you use that size cup you only need to drink most of the cup.

Matzah you need a kazais within 7 minutes only 1st night. I soaked mine in soup."

Could you post a link to that Kosher group?
