Liquids in, liquids out. That is often the case. If you have been going non stop  since yesterday though you might need to go into ER and have them get some fluids in you. You do NOT want to dehydrate. Keep us updated!

If you've got diarrhea that bad you need a lot more fluids than usual. Do you have any Gatorade/Poweraid/G2/PoweraidZero? drink that also to rehydrate and keep your electrolytes in balance.

my first week i was still having a lot of diahrea they said that bc i had to drink that whole bottle of laxative pre-surgery to clean out it would still be kickin my butt for that week. also u arent making shakes with milk? everyone tells me dairy products are a huge no-no for atleast a few months. just make sure u stay on water, and trust me it stops and then comes the constapation. im three weeks out and everyday has been very hard but seems to get better a bit each day.... good luck :}
