I was wondering if anyone had this issue going on, During or right after I am eating, I got extremely tired. I am almost 6 months post op..

Any advice would be appreciated

This happens to me all the time.  I've pinpointed it to if I eat a large meal, so I pretty much eat a little bit every hour or so.  An ounce of meat, a couple of slices of cheese.  My theory is pressure of the overfull sleeve on the vagal nerve.  BUT its just a theory.  It was teetering toward rendering me non-functional.  

Nicolle will vouch for me.. lol.  I almost always have sleepy eyes after we eat dinner after our support group.  A cup of warm coffee helps--but again, I think this helps my sleeve empty-thus reducing the pressure.
