Hello,
Usually, at surgery sight there is restricted bowel movements and lumen also may be thin which may cause thin stools.
It will take time to recover. Please consult your oncologist, he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
