Hi- a year and two months post op gastric bypass. I've lost 180 pounds with 30 left until goal. In the past two days I've noticed the color of my stool is a pale whitish yellow but normal consistency. Today I feel a bit nauseated after I ate but not bad. Just under my right rib cage feels sore off and on. The only thing I've done different is I started prednisone (steroid) for hip inflamation from an old injury but I've never seen or noticed my stool looking like this. Has anyone experienced this or read about this? Is it even a gastric bypass issue?

I am on a daily regime of prednisone and have not noticed any changes in the color. However I would call your doc just to ease your mind.

I think you're right- I will get checked out before I stress out!!! Thanks for responding!

Gallbladder?? It could be that. I was told greyish stools are a sign of gallbladder disease

I had mine removed 7 years ago- but funny you say that because the pain on my right side feels like a mild gallbladder attack even though it's gone. Very weird- can't get into see the doc til next Wednesday!
