I’ve got a somewhat embarrassing problem! 6 days post surgery for total hysterectomy. I’m not sure whether to ring the hospital helpline number I was given on discharge 2 days ago. I’m pooping what looks like cubed chicken. Larger than a dice. Coloured a mix between white/yellow. Is this a cause for concern? Not a small amount either. Like 20 pieces.
It's while the bowels are settling I think I had the worst first time in agony till I took some Lacutose then went other way ! My tummy was making the loudest noises for a while and stil but noisy some days now I would not worry too much as probably all the tummy inside changing
Hi EndoCanc
Could be due to medication or the food you are eating- but not heard of it. Give the Support Line a quick call and one of the nurses should be able to reassure you.

Hi Linda, the operation went smoothly. It was a a LOT more painful in the days after than I’d imagined it would be and still getting some pain now. Tiring very easily. Can only manage short bimbles around the house. No way I’d attempt to go for a walk outside yet. Getting breathless on the stairs and having to stop half way. It’s going to be a long recovery in my opinion. Two weeks until staging. Thanks for asking.
