Lent and Fasting/No meat

[lovingkitten 3]

So this year Im trying to figure out how to follow my normal traditions and give up something I love for Lent (Ive decided on potatoes in any form and swearing) and how to fast/have no meat on certain days.

Growing up we did Fasting all day Fridays and Ash Wednesday, and no meat at all not even fish. Im thinking I can do protien shakes but im not sure if this is the wisest/healthiest.

Im about 2 and a half months post op RNY on Dec20th

Any tips?

Protein Shakes sound like a great option. Congrats on finding ways to keep to your traditions!

I can eat fish but I think the shakes will be fine since only for a short time. also if you can have dairy-the ricotta bakes and refried Beans are a good Protein source as well as cheese. just so you can have SOME options.

Can you eat eggs? I love tofu. You can get some great recipes with lots of flavor.

That having been said, fasting a few times will not adversely affect your overall health.
