Grey stool :s
I just googled it, but we know we can't trust everything on the internet.
Stool that is pale or grey may be caused by insufficient bile output due to conditions such as cholecystitis, gallstones, giardia parasitic infection, hepatitis, chronic pancreatitis, or cirrhosis. Bile salts from the liver give stool its brownish color. If there is decreased bile output, stool is much lighter in color.
Other causes of pale stool is the use of antacids that contain aluminum hydroxide. Stool may also temporarily become pale after a barium enema test.
Pale stool may also be shiny or greasy, float, and be foul smelling, due to undigested fat in the stool (see soft and smelly stool).

I had it before surgery (many years ago) and it passed within 24 hours.
The bile helps digest the fats, so if you have no bile (and a lot of fat in your diet) you can get stenorrhea (fatty stool) which really stinks.
If it persists, there may be a blockage in the intestine that leads from liver to the place where your new stomach tube empties into the small intestine.
