I know I’m supposed to fast on Ash Wednesday and good Friday that means 1 full meal and 2 smaller meals that don’t add up to a whole meal with no snacks in between.
My question is this; I had bariatric surgery last spring and since then I don’t eat a meal larger than about a cup of food at a time. I also eat a protien snack or protien shake in between meals. If I skipped the meals but still drank the shake would that be considered snacking? I’ve been eating very different from how I ate my whole life so I’m not sure how to do fasting now because it’s like I’m always fasting.
Thanks
 
Hi,

Because of your heath issues, you are not obliged to fast.
