How do you feel after eating?

I get very sleep and lethargic after eating. It is really bad when I am at work. Sometimes I have to go to my car and take a 15 minute nap. Maybe I should start drinking a protein drink for lunch instead of food. What do you think?

I only feel that way if I've had too many carbs. Could that maybe be the problem? Take care, Ashleigh 251/208/140

I feel that way alot of the time after I eat. No matter what I eat from broth to protein. It usually goes away after about 45 minutes. It is a struggle to stay awake alot of the time.

Can you give us an idea of what types of food you are eating? If you are eating carbs, you could be having a little bit of low sugar after eating. Sometimes the body overcompensates for the amount of carbs we take in and gives too much insulin off giving you a bit of hypoglycemia. It seems to happen a number of post-ops. Kathy

Maybe you could take your Sublingual Vit B before lunch and see if It gives you any extra energy. I always take mine right before I work out in the morning. And I dont know if it is just psychological, but I seem to have extra energy to get through my long workout and then come home to my chores. The only time I feel drowsy is when I hadnt slept good the night before and its a rainy gloomy day. So today is one of those days , so I am treating myself to a siesta after I pick my daughter up. Just remember girls our bodies are really still healing from a major surgery and if you can take a little power nap. Big hugs to all of you Laura

Beejay: I often feel sleepy and lethargic after eating. But then I am often sleepy and lethargic at anytime of the day. I have sleep apnea but it's getting better with the weight I've lost. I don't know what causes it but I don't work anymore (that's one of the reasons) and have forced my husband to shoulder the burden. He's not happy but, what can I say? Paula 270/218/150?126?
