Hello everyone

As Holy month of Ramadan is approaching where every muslim keeps fast from dawn to dusk aprox (15 hrs) I'm 7 months out of gastric sleeve surgery and lost 41 kgs . I still haven't managed to eat more then 1/4 plate food . everyone is different i have seen people earlier out then me and eating more but that's okay . Sometimes i feel dizzy especially when i wake up in the morning , i take one multi vitamin tablet each day . I don't know if i should push my self trying to eat more or continue as I'm . Because i do eat very little and get full like just one drumstick at a time , 3 pcs chicken nuggets , less then quarter breast or 3 chicken wings .

I try to drink more then 1.5L water

Now i need help knowing what i should be eating during Ramadan before starting my fast and after breaking my fast because we do have little time for eating and if during that time i might only be able to eat one complete meal i feel i will be very weak and it's my first Ramadan after surgery

Any tips what small snacks i should have during night and what good meals should i have in order not to be dehydrated.

TIA

All suggestions welcome also those not fasting

Thank you for reading

I'm not sure what to do at three months out. If I am exempt at this point or not. I will try and see how I manage.

I think 3 months is too early better check with your nut or surgeon before you plan to fast

I was thinking about trying to fast but I am only 1 months and 2 days out. May need to ask my surgeon.

I think you shouldn't you are exempt but you will have to keep it later and make up for it
1 month is too early because one month you can barely eat anything or drink enough

I completed the first day fast. It has been a terrible mistake. I was only able to have on protein shake, a few crackers and water. I got terrible chills and diarrhea. My system is so screwed up today I've been in bed. Not able to fast.

there were times in my life that I couldnt fast. Sacrifice something else. keep your health goals and heal. Also, volunteer to serve food at a community iftar and feed the homeless. God understands because Ramadan is about sacrifice..food is only o ne part. I hope that helps. And during the Eid feed as many in the community as you can. Give gifts to poor families with children. Fasting is more about sacrifice and there are many ways to sacrifice. Health first.

Ohh that's so sad to know i hope you get better just drink enough water and don't fast if you cant .
Well on the other hand mine was good Alhumdulliah first day was hard i felt weak and slept a lot after breaking my fast but i managed to drink a lot of water

Dehydration is a scary thing for us, especially post op. A lot can go wrong really fast. Please be careful with yourself.
