Extreme sleepiness after 2oz protein meal

[Dody143 1]

Hi,

So I am post op gastric sleeve. I am on week 4 and started mushies 3 days ago. I just had hummus and a couple crackers and 2 tiny olives. Not sure why I noticed this yesterday too, right after I eat I get sooo sleepy suddenly. Tomorrow I am no longer remote from work and am worried about these feelings. Am I doing something wrong? Something I need to change. I am taking all my Vitamins and protien shakes.< /p>

For me, overwhelming sleepiness comes on if I eat too much. Try cutting your meal sizes down (by half or a third) and see if that helps. Good luck!

When I eat fast is how I end up overeating as well.

Yep, eating more than needed leads to exactly as described. Rest, and eat less next time. After about 5 months, my brain adjusted and this is no longer an issue.
