Nausea and Sleepiness

Hello AMOS friends! I'm 8 weeks post-op (open RNY) and just starting soft foods. I have been very careful to eat slowly, chew my food to mush and stop eating when I'm full. It's been taking me about 30 minutes to eat a couple of teaspoons of food ... I'll take a small bite, chew thoroughly, then wait another 5 minutes to take another bite so I can make sure my tummy can handle it. I do this until I feel full, not overstuffed. About an hour later, I have occasionally found myself nauseous and feeling very sleepy, although I haven't reached the point of vomiting. The feeling lasts about a half hour or so and then I feel fine. I'm not eating any fatty foods or any sugar - just cottage cheese, eggs, beans and some pureed meats. Any ideas about what is going on? Thank you in advance for your help!
