Intermittent Fasting
Can I fast after surgery?
Yes. If you’re going to have surgery and you have the ability to prepare for it, it may be best to start intermittent fasting 2 weeks beforehand. This way, you’re fully adapted to fat-burning and you can go into the surgery without any problems with blood sugars.
Right after the surgery you may want to do a more prolonged fast (at least 48 hours).
During your fast it may be best to take certain nutrients, such as:
Sea salt
Electrolytes
B vitamins
Amino acids
Vitamin D
