Usually the color of stool has a lot to do with what you ate. You also had surgery so this could also affect the stool color. If this is an unusual color for you and you did not eat anything different, then see if it continues. Your stool should go back to normal as you heal from your surgery. If it doesn’t, or if you develop additional symptoms, then see your surgeon and get it checked. Good luck
