I am 9 months post op with a temporary loop ileo and I have mucus discharge, sometimes off-white, sometimes greenish-brown. Might have it steady for a week and the not at all for a while. Of course, my j pouch is currently hooked up to my rectum, so my surgeon told me it was the lining of my j pouch that was replacing itself. Also, I was told I would always have to drink lots...and lots...and lots. I also increased salt intake. Not sure what your surgeon recommended, but I was told to drink 3 liters a day, so I had to actually schedule my fluid intake in the beginning, because it was so much more than what I was used to. Now, my body gets thirsty a lot faster and it "reminds" me more. But I also go everywhere with a Gatorade or water. Hang in there.
