The same thing happens to me. Your body is adjusting to not eating solid foods. This will all pass and time just be patient.

Completely normal, and will continue for a few more weeks until you are on all solid foods.

Then when you go on solid foods you will likely have the opposite problem, because of the lack of fiber. Plan now to add extra powdered fiber to your food (like yogurt, s/f pudding and the like). Also stock up on stool softeners and get Metamucil and Miralax.
