What Did You Have For Breakfast Today?
Breakfast
What does breakfast look like for a weight loss surgery (Roux-en-Y) Post-op 5 years after their surgery?
I can suggest that it looks pretty normal. You can see for yourself in the attached picture. Looks pretty straight forward. Cereal, banana and coffee. There are probably 10′s of thousands of people that start off breakfast this way across the world every day. Yet, please take a closer look! It’s not all the way it seems.

Roux-en-Y Surgery Boosts Insulin Sensitivity for Type 2 Diabetes more than Traditional Diet Treatments
0 Comments
Finally the facts speak for themselves. A recent research study has proven that gastric bypass surgery (Roux-en-Y) significantly increases insulin sensitivity for obese adult Type 2 diabetics over traditional diet options. In fact – 100% of the study population who received gastric bypass surgery, completely eliminated their Type 2 diabetic medications. This means that their insulin sensitivity challenges were entirely resolved through their gastric bypass surgery procedure.
This is compared to the control group who were put on traditional 800 calorie diets AND took at least twice as long to reach the surgery group’s weight loss. Only 55% of the diet group was able to completely eliminate their diabetic medications. Read the rest of this post
