I wrote a short article about my experience with RNY gastric bypass surgery. Here is a link. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

I would recommend 2 things at your stage.

1. Walk 30 minutes per day. That will help the recovery process go much smoother.

2. Cut out all caffeine now. I suffered through a week of severe headaches and body aches when I gave up my 6 diet coke a day habit. You do not want to mix caffeine withdrawal with the effects of surgery.

Thank you. I have started walking. Caffeine thank goodness is not an issue for me. Thank you for the article. Was a great read.

Anyone in VA getting ready for RNY?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
