Broke my fast on water and honey cake. Then while DH had coffee and kokosh cake, I had a fruit smoothie with ground almonds.

Later we had a regular meal of food from Erev YK meals:
challah and dips
fish
chicken soup with kreplach
baked chicken cutlets with potato kugel, ferfel, and tzimmes

Honestly I didn't eat much at the meal, just a little bit of everything.

Does coffee not keep you up at night?

For me, no. I don't usually drink coffee but a coffee drink was available and it was yummy. I've never observed it having any effect on me besides the ability to keep me regular.

Not sure. My sleep is irregular even when I don't drink coffee at night, so it's hard to tell.

I try to drink decaf at night, but we are all out of hazelnut decaf. So it was either caffeinated hazelnut or plain decaf and I really really wanted that flavored taste.

I am diabetic. Couldn't reach dayan about fasting before yk, so I fasted.
Last yr I had Corona , so had to eat. 2yrs ago was expecting so did shiurim.
When I felt lightheaded I took caffeine/tylenol suppositories & felt better afterward.
I took my sugars & wasn't low
Problem is when I break fast my sugar shoots up like crazy.
This year I was smart & didn't break my fast on sweets not to overwhelm my body.
I broke fast on coffee, 3 slices American cheese. Then had Melba toast, tuna & tomatoes.

My husband is coming home & then we are still going to have a traditional seudah, wonder if I will be able to eat.

Love this site

To minimize the nausea try skipping sugar. Works for many ppl I know.
