White, Fleshy, Mucus In Stool? Tmi Warning!



Recommended Posts

I am 6 weeks post op. Because I had dark stool, a stool sample was taken and it came up positive. I was not too concerned because the blood could have been from my surgery. Finally, after 6 weeks, my stools are no longer dark. However, they are wrapped in a white, fleshy substance. My surgeon has not returned my call. Has anyone experienced any of this fleshy stuff in their poop?

I have not yet heard of this. But I really wanna hear the outcome of what is the cause.

After doing some research I think it is mucus from the intestinal wall. I hope its nothing serious!

I posted this exact same question a while ago. I saw this after I took a stimulant laxative. I think it is musous, I was told that those stimulant laxitives pull out a lot of gunk. I haven't taken anymore of those laxatives and haven't had that happen again. Good luck.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
