Blood in your stool after surgery

[buff1973 2]

I am three days out of surgery and all of my poop has blood in it! I called my Doctor and he told me to wait a few more days and if it has not gotten any better to come back and see him. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have not had the problem.

Is the blood red? Or does your poop look like coffee grounds

[buff1973 2]

It is blood red and no it does not look like coffee grounds. It has me worried!

Blood red is actually good. Blood red means the blood is more than likely coming from the rectum area. Like a hemroid. If you had to strain to poop for your first time that could cause it.

When the poop looks like coffee grounds then it means the blood is internal. That is a lot more serious.

Follow up with your doctor.

I have lost 37#s since my surgery on 12/20/13. I am feeling great, have had no dumping at all. I have pretty much stuck to my 2 week post surgery diet, i did have a scrambled egg & 1 piece of toast this morning and had no problem eating it & I felt full after I ate!!! I meet with my Surgeon on Monday for my 2 week appt. Hope everyone had a great New Year!

I had bloody stool post op. I was told that was because he didn't use a drain. All is well today.
