I have been reading on Internet that white/gray/light colored poo is no good even in WLS patients it could be a blocked bile or gallbladder ok so here is my questions I am new post op and gallbladder was ok during surgery not problems do u think ot could be gallbladder or maybe calcium I am taking. I go from bad constipation to feeling like I am going to throw up with a huge light colored bowel movement has anyone else had this does it go away I don't feel sick and I don't have yellowing of the eyes or skin. Internet got me fraking out

It's fat.  You are malabsorbing fat due to your RNY.  It's common. 

It can also be a sign of gall bladder problems because if your gall bladder isn't working right, you can also malabsorb fats.  But you are supposed to be malabsorbing them now.  I would not worry unless you have other symptoms of gall baldder problems.

Thanks for posting I had the same question. Im taking actigal so wasn't so worried about gallbladder but wondered if it was calcium. I take dulcolax stool softner once a day it helped me a lot.

I had that for a couple of months after surgery now they are pretty much normal, no galbladder issue.
