I AM REALLY CONFUSED. DID THIS HAPPEN TO ANYBODY ELSE?

I AM 19 DAYS POST OP. I HAVE HAD SOME BOWEL MOVMENT, BUT TODAY IT WAS REALLY STRANGE. IT WAS PALE YELLOW ALMOST WHITE. I AM ON SOFT AND MUSHY FOODS NOW AND I DEVELOPED TWO PROBLEMS BOWEL DISCOLARATION AND MY RIGHT SIDE REALLY HURTS AND I STILL HAVE A LOT OF GAS AND I AM CONSTANTLY BLOATED. IS ANY BODY ELSE LIKE THIS? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING I AM REALLY WORRIED. SORRY I KNOW THIS IS PRETTY GROSS BUT I AM CONSTANTLEY WORRIED THAT I AM DEVELOPING SOME COMPLICATIONS.

I am 5 wks out and on a regular diet, and my stools are still pale yellow I never thought anything of it. Maybe you should ask your doc.

I have this too. My surgery was Oct. 18th. I think I have it more when I'm eating dairy. Sandi

Hi, Don't feel alone...I have the same issues, I am going to doctor for 6 week check up and will ask...will post again tomorrow. because this is not a fun thing...

I think it is because we are eating mushies, and for me no beef. Also, ifyou think of it--BM is the waste your body does not use. With us taking in less, the waste product is also less. I too have lots of gas--and other people have posted this also. My gas comes in the morning--I think I have been waking up the house!

Hi. I think it is pretty normal. My stool is light and I tend to have a lot of gas! I don't really have the pain you mentioned, but I think it is all with the gas. Remember, we are not digesting as much as we used to so our bowels are bound to go through some tension(no pun intended!) Ask your doctor to ease your mind, but don't worry yourself silly... too many of us have the same thing for it to be something wrong! Have a great day! Amber
