TMI

Ummmm... This am my poop was white?

discuss ...

ah, yes, the days of technicolour poop.... who knows. as long as its coming out, and you don't feel like you're birthing a baby elephant.

if you search "white poop" on here it seems to be common for some people????? Don't know if it is a concern though.

...I thought it was flushing the fat out ???????

no.. that's not how the fat comes out

Unless you recently had a barium swallow or upper gi series done, your stool should not be white.  White stool means a lack of bile so you need to see your doctor about it.

Gallbladder out march 2011, but all my pain is left sided.

 

Your new "wiring" is all on the left side.

Right between your boobs and down a little bit is where your new "pouch" is. Literally under your xyphoid process. Down the left side of your body is where the "wiring" goes on which is wy you are sore there.

To the left of your belly button over about 3-4 inches is where one of the anastomosis takes place (joining).. you might feel twitches there

Unless you are in great pain or pooping blood or vommiting blood I would not get fussed about it.

Thanks... I already did the pooping blood in the hospital... they kept me an extra day, but it all went away.

Saw the NP today as part of my regular follow up so I knew I could ask her... was just on here wondering because I've read plenty of poop stories here... but never the... OMG ghost poop!! wanted some feedback from the masses if anyone else had the experience especially since I had no GB and no liver/pancreatic pain for it to be bile related.

Had my one week post op, talked to nurse prac. she said at first it can go through the colors of the rainbow, but if it stays white to let them know. I was running a low fever and BP at 105/76.... She said it was all ok, but to come in if fever got worse or wound infected
