Fasting for Lent... Anyone?

[Mrs.RRn 2,111]

Any post-op Catholics fasting during Lent? If so, what types of rules are you following?

Any tips appreciated...

I'm nearly 9 months post op and healthy, so I feel I can do this in some capacity.

(Any other religions feel free to chime in--- Muslims during Ramadan, Did you fast? Was it difficult?)

Thanks y'all!

9 months out, you should be fine doing the Friday fast, but as is noted in the Catholic Church's doctrine on fasting during Lent, older folks and those with medical necessity should not fast. (There are other rules and exceptions, too ...) Sleevers early on their journey could run into serious issues if they attempt to fast. It is suggested to perform some other selfless act in lieu of fasting.

I'm thinking maybe fasting only on Fridays for this year (possibly Wednesdays too). And of course, no meat on Fridays.
