[QUOTE="Chook, post: 1059586, member: 24561"] [USER=85785]@nosher8355[/USER] I will pass your comments about hospital fasting on to my husband. He's having to fast for a couple of days for a procedure next Monday (so fasting Saturday and Sunday) and has been told that afterwards he won't feel like eating until Tuesday or possibly even Wednesday. He's worrying about it already.

He's right though, the only time I've ever gone without food for longer was a really bad tummy bug about 10 years ago - I didn't eat for over a week - and that wasn't voluntary! :) I think I will do a three day fast when I'm off work for a week at the end of this month.
