Hello, I am now 41 days out from surgery I am on solid foods. I get so sleepy sometimes when I eat. Does anyone else that type of effect after eating.

I am also quickly realize your brain has to catch up with your new pouch lol. I made myself a salad I thought I was only eating little but you literally can't eat no more than if you cup your hand and fill it sometimes not even that much.

I called myself making me a Protein snack pack unsalted nuts cheese sticks unprocessed meats... I am allergic to nuts and I have never been allergic to anything in my life.

It seems that several individuals that underwent RNY gastric bypass surgery have experienced sleepiness after eating a meal. A search on the internet seems to give a variety of reasons rather than just one.

My only advise is to make sure that you are following the guidelines for daily Vitamin, Protein and Fluid requirements. This is extremely important.

Next, some people experience "reactive hypoglycemia" after surgery. After consuming a meal, your blood sugars can drop suddenly. Patients may experience any of these symptoms one to three hours after a meal high in carbohydrates: hunger, feeling shaky, dizziness, sleepiness, sweating, anxiety, feeling weak, confusion, heart palpitations, fatigue, aggression, tremors, fainting, or loss of consciousness.
