Food Coma

Has anybody experienced a food coma or as it is probably called Postprandial somnolence after eating with the sleeve? I have never experienced this even in my most obese state. Since my surgery six weeks ago, if I eat to limit of my sleeve, I could probably take a nap immediately afterwards. It doesn't matter if it is a carbohydrate or a diet shake. Anybody else have this experience?

Yes, I am experiencing the same thing. I am also six weeks post-op. And you are right, it doesn't matter what you eat, be it a shake or tuna, I immediately get sleepy when I'm done. If I'm at home, I go lay down and actually take a nap. I noticed that it goes away after about 20 minutes.

I found this article that explains it:

If I eat the wrong things, crappy foods, I will fall into a really bad food coma and feel very ill. I usually can sleep for 2 hours solid when that happens.
