Is your gecko female? If so, it could be a partially formed egg. If not, its probably a huge urate that the gecko probably feels much better now that its not inside him/her anymore! It looks like it may be nothing to worry about but I would monitor their behavior and eating for a few days and if anything seems awry a vet visit may not be a bad idea.

it looks to small to be a slug, and it appears to have the white speckling that urates has. i would say urates.
easy way to tell.. what was its consistency like?
also your geckos feces is very small. is it eating okay?
you should change that corner every day to avoid parasite re-infections.

It is hard to say that the mystery object or the droppings are too small because the size of the gecko is unknown from this post. I was basing my opinion on the size of the object in relation to the droppings in the picture. Obviously I can be certain but IMO it looks way to big to be a urate.
I will say that the droppings appear to be pretty runny and don't look like solid nuggets.
