Actually, if we're looking at Spring/Summer, that's a great idea

because of the beach and Boardwalk. I live 2 hours away. <BG>

least rain? I wanna see the mountain!

I should have read the next message! Summer works for me, too!

recommend later in the summer, even right up til Labor Day, for that

reason. It really is beautiful here in the summer, but it's important

to make sure you're really here during the SUMMER! :-)

When I lived in Seattle almost 13 years ago, We called the seasons

WINTER and AUGUST!!! You are right , later summer and early

Sept. would be better times.

Well, rather than start a whole new poll now, why not take the winner

of this poll, when it's over, and have another with that date and a

few more into the late summer/fall months?

These polls aren't easy, you can't please all the people all the

time, as we found out with the Vegas poll, but since those other

dates were never offered.....? Just a suggestion.

Oh, and one other thing...if I'm flying across the country, I may

just have to hit Vegas again for a couple of days. It seems to have

taken hold of me! LOL

So far, July 30-Aug 2 is winning by a good margin.

We could extend the poll, I looked it up on the on grads site and it can be

changed to add more dates.

In fact, I'll go ahead and add weekends in late August. So, you can go back in

and change your vote if you would like to do that. (And, you are allowed to

vote for more than one.)

>> How would having an RNY affect your

bathroom habits? This is considering

you already have permanent loose

stools because of gallbladder surgery.

Please respond only if you had an RNY

after having your gallbladder out.

The only thing wrong with this poll is that it doesn't allow for the fact

that every single body is different. What happened to me won't happen to

everyone. I had my gallbladder out in 1980, my RNY in 1999. I didn't have

" permanently loose stools " as a result of my gallbladder removal. I tended

to be a little more loose if I ate high fat foods or fresh veggies, but

otherwise, I didn't see a lot of difference.

Post op, if I overindulge in carbs, I will have loose stools some of the

time, but they don't seem to help in the weight loss department in the

slightest. And if I am on the high protein diet I am supposed to be on (only

good carbs), I tend to get constipated, especially if I go over 3 shakes a

day with 20 grams of carbs or less.

So it's a matter of personal experience, I think.

And my experience says OVERWHELMINGLY that we will have problems with

constipation.
