Help.... post op question

I'm so sorry this is going to sound gross but I had surgery Thursday 10/24 today is Monday and I have watery diarrhea every since saturday night. I have no fever but sometimes fell flushed. I can walk around and I can drink Water and Protein shakes (started those today) without problem. The only concern was the watery bm.

Anyone else go through this if so how long did it last

    I am One month out today! I still have bouts of raging waterys... And have even had an "oops I crapped my pants" moment on my way to dinner one night- they were right, never trust a fart! I have found that this week I had formed stools! But I have been eating real food for the most part. Shakes only when I can't get my protein in otherwise. My tummy still has things it likes and things it does not as I try new things. And it lets me know quickly! I am lactose intolerant post op also-- I am hoping it goes away!
