Sleepy after eating dinner



Recommended Posts

I'm 10 week after surgery and having problems staying awake after eating dinner. I'm fine in the morning, and whatever I can eat for lunch mostly I'm still having Protein Drinks, but in the evening when I try to eat small bites of chicken, cheese etc I go to sleep. I'm NOT eating too much carbs under 10 to 20 a day and not high amounts of fat. Anyone else dealing with this? I also don't feel like eating most of the time. I'm running into having a bite or two of chicken or tuna and giving the rest to my dogs. I just can't eat the 2-4 ounces of it.

I get sleepy after eating quite often . . .

As to not being hungry, don't worry too much about that. Your appetite will probably come back at some point--it took several months for me, but mine did. I kind of miss the days when I didn't care whether I ate or not--I just tried to get my Protein in. You'll eventually be able to eat more, too.

Thank goodness. I was a bit worried about this. I had no idea if it was normal, the sleepiness that is and there appears to be no doctors information on it.. Thanks for replying!

To be clear, I've been falling asleep after eating for a while, including before surgery. If your reactions have changed significantly since the surgery, I'd double-check with the doctor about it.

Same here. I talked to my surgeon's PA and she said it was normal. I'm honestly really grateful for it, and hope it will stay for as long as possible.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
