Despite eating all the right things (protein, complex carbs) I had stomach pains for a long time afterwards and couldn’t sleep at night.
Anyone else have this issue? What post-fasting tips would help with this?
September 27, 2012 5:31 pm at 5:31 pm #1185993WolfishMusingsParticipantAs a rule, after a fast, I eat a small meal, slowly with a fair amount of liquid (including water).
Then I go away from the table for an hour or two. After the initial meal has had a chance to digest, I go back for a second meal.
I can’t guarantee that this will work for you, but it does for me.

September 27, 2012 5:35 pm at 5:35 pm #1185995mommamia22ParticipantI was very weak after the fast. I ate but probably didn’t drink enough and didn’t have enough of a sugary drink.
I think I’m going to try to have more soups with grains (barley, ministrone) and drink more orange juice afterwards.
Could it be that you ate too quickly??
September 27, 2012 10:44 pm at 10:44 pm #1185996Torah613TorahParticipantI ate the way I usually do. Maybe it was a stomach virus. Anyway, BH I feel better now.
September 27, 2012 11:36 pm at 11:36 pm #1185997ready nowParticipantCould it be an affliction from above for associating with the internet and CR? Could be. Happy you are feeling better.
September 28, 2012 4:02 am at 4:02 am #1185998Ken ZaynMemberI have a really long post to write but I can only post SO slowly, so I opened this thread for a tip on how to post fast. Can someone please give me a post fasting tip?
September 28, 2012 4:11 am at 4:11 am #1185999🍫Syag LchochmaParticipantOh – I thought it said fast-posting tips.
September 28, 2012 4:17 am at 4:17 am #1186000PurimMashgiachMemberI eat as much as I possibly can, and then roll away from the table like a beached whale and fall asleep on the couch. It works for me. Just make sure you are on the couch closer to the bathroom, and keep a bag next to you just in case.

No one mentions bread with salt and vodka?
July 17, 2013 8:39 pm at 8:39 pm #1186003Torah613TorahParticipantIt’s the day after the fast and I’m still feeling weak and have little to no appetite. (made it through the fast but very weak)
Things I have already tried:
Eating slowly
Eating bread first
Eating protein first
Drinking first
Drinking juice
Taking a break after eating a little
Please only give advice if it is not obvious or listed above.
No one else has post-fasting problems? (as opposed to fast posting issues. 🙂 )
July 17, 2013 9:00 pm at 9:00 pm #1186004🐵 ⌨ GamanitParticipantMaybe try drinking a smoothie today. That’s usually easy to get down, even when you don’t have much appetite.
July 17, 2013 9:12 pm at 9:12 pm #1186005jewishfeminist02MemberDon’t run around or engage in strenuous activities. Give your body a chance to adjust.
July 19, 2013 4:27 am at 4:27 am #1186006VogueMemberbuy bottled water, it will be easier to drink.
July 20, 2013 11:10 pm at 11:10 pm #1186007Stock TraderParticipantI only drink after a fast (which finishes late in the evening). I dont eat anything. I drink cold/room temp water, a coffee, hot chocolate, pureed soup, all easily digestible. This way I fall asleep easily. I wake up the next day hungry but BH I feel good this way. Good luck
October 13, 2016 2:43 am at 2:43 am #1186008147ParticipantI broke Tzom with a glass of 10% alcohol chilled wine for Havdoloh, and then consumed chicken, as it is a Mitzwah to eat Besari after Yom Kippur.

I also broke the fast with alcohol. Family tradition is to break on a shot of whiskey before leaving shul. On arrival home I had a cup of black coffee and after changing clothing I had a brisket sandwich with cole slaw.
I did not have milchiges until the following morning.
whiskey, black coffee, beef….as my father, grandfather and great grandfather always broke the fast.
My wife had lox, bagel, whitefish, cream cheese….none of interests me.
