Postprandial hypoglycemia is a complication of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), but the effects of postprandial exercise and meal glycemic index (GI) on postprandial glucose and glucoregulatory hormone responses are unknown. Ten RYGB-operated and 10 age and weight-matched unoperated women completed four test days in random order ingesting mixed meals with high GI (HGI, GI = 93) or low GI (LGI, GI = 54), but matched on energy and macronutrient content. Ten minutes after meal completion, participants rested or cycled for 30 min at 70% of maximum oxygen uptake (V̇o).
