Diarrhea and week 1 post op
It's pretty common to have liquid in yield liquid out. I add benefiber to my daily shake to help firm me up.

Yep. Liquid in, liquid out. I had a lot of diarrhea the first week but after than it lightened up. I still had loose stools until I started eating softs. My first soft food was Cream of Wheat. That took care of the diarrhea.
For me, this was par for the course the first 3 weeks as I was on full liquids for the first 3 weeks post-op. It does taper off once you are moved to soft foods.
Good luck and welcome to the loser's bench.
