About 2 days. I was sick, nauseous, and couldn't swallow.

Probably about 16 hours. I get pretty shaky if I go too long without eating.

I had starved myself for about 2 weeks. Eventually, I was at school one day and passed out. The next thing I know I'm in the hospital with malnutrition and a very bad bump on the head. Not something I'd recommend to anyone.

A day, maybe close to two. I like to eat too much to stop for too long!

I don't know. I was dehydrated the summer after kindergarten and got put on an IV for a week. They'd only feed me popsicles. I've skipped food a lot when I've been sick. . .when I had surgery, I probably went about 15 hours without keeping anything in my stomach. Maybe more like 20.

Having to have biopsies done annually and a doctor who doesn't do it until late afternoon, I have to fast all day plus part of the previous day. So having hyperglycemia I shake and hiccup until I am happily put under.

Oh Geez....a long time ago, years ago actually, I was on a big diet kick, and I think I went for two days without eating a thing because I was in a fashion show. I wanted to make sure I looked extra emaciated because I knew I would be modeling skimpy little "Madonna Inspired" clothing (girdle-like shorts and the big cone bra...remember those? LOL). I even went to a spa to have a seaweed wrap, which was supposed to get rid of extra water weight! Since then, however, I've hardly gone 5 hours without eating!! I enjoy food way to much do do something like that again!

I was in the hospital a number of years ago in ICU sustained only by intravenous for about a solid week. Does that count?

Go
without food? You can do that? Fortunately I've been blessed with a high
metabolism. Unfortunately I'm pretty darned hungry all the time and if
I don't eat I get really weak. So probably like 10 hours or something
short is my all time record. Unless you're counting being sick, in
which case I've gone a couple of days, but I don't think that counts.

I'm not sure. I was very sick at the time. Two to four days maybe. I wasn't too clear on the passage of time.

I once went a month and a half without food. I mean, I'd nibble a bagel in the morning or something, and I drank a lot of water, but it was still a dreadful month. I'll never do it again.

The longest I've ever gone without food is 10 days from too much partying. I looked like crap at the end of it, but dangit if I didn't lose some weight.
