Loose stools and lots of gas in pipes while moving bowels

I see a lot of content on here about constipation but I am having a different problem. I am 4 days post- op and my stools look like little rabbit poos and every time I move bowels it is an explosion of gas along with those weird little stools? It is like doing a colon cleanse sensation. Some of those stools float and I don't get that since I am not eating any fat on my post-op liquid diet. Should I be concerned? Anyone else had this issue?

They are going to be a lot smaller since you are eating less. I think you can take GasX, might want to check with your surgeon's office. Otherwise, sounds pretty normal.

Others warned me, but I failed to believe them . And Sqautty Potty, I've got one on order. Since I went 9n TPN it is better, can't understand it, it is ill- logical but true.

Do you sleep with a CPAP? I had this problem and it turned out my CPAP was filling my pouch and intestines with air while I slept. It was ramping up to too high of an air flow for my breathing to compensate.

Yes, I do sleep with a CPAP. Have for years! Will have to get with a sleep doctor and see if it needs adjustment down. Also taking note of the casein or lactose intolerance because up till protein shakes, I never drank milk? I am 7 days post op and still having the same issues. Thanks guys!
