Protein and tired?

 After I drink my protein drink I get really tired. Does anyone else do this?

What are you using for protien? Have you been getting all of your vitamens in? I was tired the first 3 months after surgery- then it just clicked.

I drink the protein bullets 42grams, my nut has me mix jucie juce in with it. And I have been taking all my vitamins. I am only 2 months out the 17th. I've also started back at the gym this week and have gained 3lbs. Really getting frustrated.

ARE YOU DRINKING YOUR PROTIEN BEFORE & AFTER EXERCISE? I KNOW SOMEONE ELSE WHO STARTED AT A GYM EARLY AFTER HER SURGERY, & WAS EXTREMELY TIRED, AND ENDED UP HAVING SOME PROTIEN/IRON PROBLEMS. YOU MIGHT CHECK WITH YOUR DIETICIAN TO SEE WHAT THEY SUGGEST. OTHERWISE, CONGRATS ON MOVING FORWARD!DON'T GET DISCOURAGED- IT WILL GET BETTER!!!

I've never gotten more sleepy AFTER a protein drink, but make sure you're following all doc orders.  If you are, you may be experiencing some anemia.  After my rny I became very anemic and to this day, (RNY 2002) I have to receive an iron injection every two weeks.  It helps tremendously!!!!  If I don't receive my injection it's hard to even get off the couch!!  Good luck and i hope you're feeling better soon!

 Could you be having some mild dumping symptoms from the juice you mix in your protein?  They had me drinking juice for a while too (to help with ketosis) and I got hot flashes and got super tired sometimes after drinking it, especially if I drank it a little to fast.  I just assumed I was dumping from the natural sugar in the juice, but I don't know that for certain.

I hope you start feeling better soon.

I never thought about that. Is that what you do when you dump?
