Tired after eating

Does anyone else experience this? Every time I eat, I go through a period (about an hour I guess) of feeling extremely exhausted, no matter how long I've slept the night before.  This happens with healthy light meals, too.  For example, for lunch I had steamed vegetables, 3 bean medley and tofu with curry. Light, protein packed and delicious.  But now, I'm just exhausted at work, I can hardly keep my eyes open.  Every meal!

Thanks,

p.s., 11 days sober :)

Most people get sleepy after eating especially if they are sitting down and not moving around.  I learned years ago to never schedule a meeting right after lunch. 

I only get sleepy after eating too many carbs. All of those things you listed have carbs, so I'd be sleepy too if I ate them all at the same time. Maybe try replacing one of them with cheese or a boiled egg.

^^^^  What Maria said ^^^^   carb coma!

Her menu looks vegan.  Could be difficult to get low carb protein with a vegan diet.  

Just wanted to say congratulations on the sobriety!  *high five*

From one to another,

You had some protein, but still more carbs. I'm going with carb coma too. Tomorrow have a nice piece of meat for lunch. Just meat. See if you get sleepy.

We get that sensitive to carbs?

I still can't come to grips with this concept.

I crash after eating anything.

So frustrating.

Small piece of meat?

I'm only 5 months post op but I've found too many carbs not only make me sleepy I'm also nauseous for 30-60 minutes after. My vote goes to too many carbs.

Congrats on the sobriety.
