YELLOW Stool ???
BorderCollieMama, I don't want to raise an alarm for you, but dark green stool is sometimes a sign of bleeding. You might want to call your surgeon, to check!!

Yellow can be a sign of excess bile - your liver is producing the same amount even though you have a smaller stomach so you could be excreting the excess. When in doubt, call your doctor. But it's definitely not harmful.

I have GOOD NEWS for those that are interested.
After doing some research ...... I discovered WHY this was occurring.
Yes, malnutrition is part of it, the solution was very simple.
All of my life I've never needed or had taken a daily vitamin, nor B12, nor calcium.
After my surgery .... for several months I took the daily vitamins that the Doctor had prescribed. I had slacked off in the last 2-3 months to where I went back to my old ways of NOT taking the daily vitamins.
For the last 3 days, I have been taking double the daily doses of vitamins and this morning I can say that I am back to normal and back on track.
The FEARS of Pancreatic disease or LIVER disease (Internet research) caused me to schedule a doctors appointment. Yesterday morning after seeing a slight color change, I cancelled the appointment and just decided to go through the weekend to see if the vitamins were the reason .... if the same problem continued, then I was prepared to re-schedule a doctors appointment on monday.
All I have to say .... TAKE your daily vitamins
In my case, I am back to normal. Hope this helps anyone with Yellow stool.
