Anyone getting sleepy after you eat?? or maybe just in general? lately, i am tired ALL the time but more so after i eat. Seems like a child thing to be dealing with..i started to regain energy but the last few weeks have definitely been anything but energized. any suggestions??

I am 3 1/2 months out and still freeze!!

Do any of you ladies get extremely cold?? It seems like I'm freezing ALL the time!!

wow seriously?? I'm in Chicago so I thought it was just the weather and that I was being delusional or something...but even with the heat on blast in the house I still have to bundle

Hehe I've been sleeping with a heating pad & heated rice bag to stay warm!!!

Lol, a woman after my own heart love my heating pad. I put it on me and everything is alright in my world

How far from surgery out are you?

I was exhausted all the time for the first 4 weeks post op. This is my first week of having a fairly normal level of energy. I am only eating 1 ounce every 2-3 hours' date=' so I am not eating much. Everything I eat is protein-rich (sliced deli meat, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, ground meats) except for the few little slices of banana I have to eat to help with my potassium deficiency. My nut had me switch from plain Water to G2 mixed with water and Vitamin Water Revive (Fruit Punch) mixed with water so that I was getting some sugar and carbs. That has helped tremendously with the fatigue. I was worried about the liquid calories but the G2 is really, really low. I end up with about 10-15 calories of G2 mixed with a 20 oz bottle of water.

Are you finding yourself tired every time you eat or is it specific foods?[/quote']

I am tried all the time SD 1/14 and yes i get sleepy after eating. My surgeon said I was not eating enough. I should eat 1/4 c of food 6 times a day. I told him is he kidding me I am struggling trying to get my requirement in now and u want more. Lol

Btw, I go back to work tomorrow I have no idea how I am going to make it through the day.

OMG I am cold all the time! Only when I take a hot shower I feel better for a little while .....I wonder if its the hormone changes and Protein intake.... Pre op I would get cold if I didn't have enough protein.

I am 11 days post surgery and have noooooo energy at all. Still on liquids so maybe that's why.

I'm going to be 3 weeks post op on Monday the 18th. I'm exhausted!! I get sleepy after I eat too' date=' or if I do anything. I feel like a newborn lol. I'm sure I'm not getting enough liquids. I wish this was easier.[/quote']

I feel the same way.

Same boat here! Surgery 1/29/13 and I feel like I could use a nap time!!! Sooo dang tired. The last two days I met my calories and protein' date=' but only getting 20 ounces of water! Can't win! Just can't seem to get all three. Anyone else?[/quote']

Same here. Can never get everything right in a day including Vitamins.
