Hey I had my RNY on Monday 12/11/11 I'm doing OK I am probably going to be off 4 to 6 weeks just to get used to things. A few of my fellow medics have had the surgery,with varying success. In the beginning it's good but as they returned to work they had hard times maintaining a routine. I'm hoping to use the off time to get into a rhythm of working out. As far as eating I'm with the other post probably going to have to plan ahead with a cooler of go to snacks good luck
