Poop question

Sorry about the subject matter, but everyone poops, right?

I've always assumed that the color since the DS has been generally lighter than pre-DS because food moves more quickly through our systems.  If I had to compare shades of brown, using meat cooking terms, I'd say my poop now is a medium-rare/medium, whereas pre-DS it was more medium/medium-well.   However, when I was visiting my mother over the holidays, I had apparently left a small floater behind, and she commented on the color, in that sometimes a lighter color is a sign of liver trouble.  Of course, blood tests would be a better indicator, so I'm not too concerned, but it got me thinking.

So, just wondering if my lighter color is common amongst DSers, or am I out of the norm?

Im on the vitaladys iron, and amount. So mine is the color of dark "gun metal" grey. If I miss a day or so of iron it turns light again.... I might add Gun metal describes the color perfectly. I stole the description off of OH from many that describe it in this manor.....lol

Mine has been light in color since right after surgery. 

Mine has been light since my surgery on Dec 3rd.

My iron makes mine gray / greenish gray. Oh joy right?!

Me too.  That is exactly the color of mine.  If I don't get the iron in, it gets a light swede color.

Light poop is also just a sign that food is moving through your digestion system too fast - which for us, is exactly what is happening since the food is going through much less intestines.  So I never thought more about it.

Mine is the same as Dustycroy's.  Light/clay colored after DS but with Vitalady's iron supplements it's turned a dark grey/green color that approaches gun metal grey.

I know now that it's 'normal' post DS for it to be odd light colours. I wonder too, because I know before surgery when it was lighter I was having liver issues. It makes me nervous but I guess asking a doctor would be the best way to know.  It's likely the shorter processing time+extra unabsorbed fats+different supplements one is taking, but confirmation would be nice :)

No iron supplementation here.

Always lighter. Every time.

Mine stay light since surgery unless I take a lot of pepto that day.
