Hi I had Gastric Bypass 4 years ago, lost 120 pounds, kept it off. Now in the past year I have noticed that I have been getting extremely sleepy after most meals. In the evening its ok because I just head to bed, but after lunch, at work, it can be a bit of a problem. The effect only lasts for 30-40 minutes, but I'm so groggy I can barely function. Is it dumping? Sometimes I feel flushed and my heart is a bit fast, but It happens for all food, with sugar or not.. Is it age, I'm 62 now.. Something else?

Anyone else have similar issues?

I would mention it to your family provider. This can be a sign of prediabetes. Or it may just be what you’re eating. Some foods can cause blood sugar spikes. I don’t know too much about what specifically but if it’s not a medical thing perhaps a dietician could go over your food log and give you some tips.
