please excuse the indelicate nature of this post. I was looking up something else and read in an old post something about seeing visible fat in the toilet with your stool at some point after RNY surgery. They called them the "rainbow swirlies". seriously, is this something I have yet to look forward to? and if so, at what stage post-surgery do you begin to experience this colorful phenomenon?

I've never experienced that. I'm almost afraid to find out if that was on this site.  

I woke up in between a memory and a dream...

I've never seen a rainbow, but I once crapped out a unicorn.

The horn actually wasn't too bad. The hooves hurt like heck though.

okay ... you guys are crackin' me up ... thanks for making me laugh ... so relieved to know this isn't the norm. it was a comment that someone had posted on this board but it said the person was no longer a member or I would have asked them directly . .. I'm laughing so hard at the unicorn remark that I can hardly type!

I remember that and it was DS surgery, not RNY
