feeling so tired after eating

[BandyEmm]

Does anyone else have the shattered feeling after eating a meal?

i could actually go to bed now and keep for a few hours

You could be eating too much ? Tiredness can also be a sign of dumping. What have you just eaten ?

 

[BandyEmm]

Only had a tiny bit of curry sauce and a very small amount of rice, first tiem ive tried it and my body refused it and it ended up in the lavvy, I didnt think you could dump with a band?

Certainly sounds like it hasn't agreed with you. I do generally feel tired after eating, but I have M.E and that's one of the problems of the condition.

i quite often get tired after eating, and i have for a long time, i was told it was something to do with the vegel nerve that runs up somewhere nr the stomach, it affects some ppl that way. it definately through eating too much with me, as if i even eat a teaspoon too much, i am actually ill. im lucky in that i dont work so have the luxury of lying down for a while after ive eaten, but when i was working i found it hard, and ive only ever eaten small portions, all my meals used to be eaten out of a small pasta bowl.

Hi Emm,

This can happen after a carb rich meal or if you are not drinking enough. Another thing to think about is this is also a possible side effect of diabetes.

maybe pop to your doctors to double check... Hope this helps in some way.

I must admit after i eat my lunch i very often joke with a colleague how i could do with jumping into one of the beds on the ward for a nap! Luckily she thinks the same so i think it's just cos we're both lazy buggars lol...

However in all seriousness, pre op after a large meal i always wanted to have a kip, and sometimes i did!

My surgeon told me that since we are restricting food as is that when we eat tithe body tries to get every bit of it because it thinks you are starving it.
So when you feel tired don't sleep since that is what the body wants you to do. Walk around for a bit or exercise. It does help.

I always wonder if it's something related to blood sugar... since I always drop tired after eating... it's an interesting point!

Love and hugs xxx
