[fast5] Re: Fast-5 & Surgery



My approach would be to follow my appetite, without following a particular schedule, for a few days to a week or so after surgery, until pain control medication is no longer necessary and most normal activities are comfortable. The surgery, anesthetic, and pain medication may have a profound effect on both your appetite (up or down) and circadian (daily) rhythm. The amount of tissue repair needed after a hysterectomy (especially if its laparoscopic/transvaginal) isn't trivial, but it's not huge either, so a making a deliberate bump in protein intake may be helpful but not essential if you maintain a reasonably balanced diet.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery,

Bert

I occasionally go over the 5 hour eating window and have still maintained my loss. For those of you who ask about cream in your coffee - I have REAL heavy cream in my coffee every morning and have since I started Fast-5 and it has not deterred my weight loss. YMMV of course. Okay on to my question - I have to have surgery in August (hysterectomy) and am wondering about Fast-5. Should I stay on it or go back to eating more often? For reference, I usually break my fast with a snack of nuts or trail mix and then eat dinner. In other words, I don't normally eat 2 meals in my 5 hour window. I'm just not sure if I will get enough protein (for healing) in that one meal and snack. Dr. Bert or anyone have any suggestions for me?
