James Marusek 5,244 Posted April 9, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chelliey 2 Posted April 9, 2016 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? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
