 ROFL Optitrots, Optiballs, can't trust a fart!  

All these things I have to look forward to.

I'm sure you aren't laughing as hard as me though.  Hang in there.  You are almost there.

 I was exactly like you.  The crap ran right through me and back out in it's original form it seemed.  The night before surgery after my last shake is when it happeneed last.

Kind of freaked me out after surgery because I did not have a bowel movement until I ate my first semi solids ie; hot cereal 2 weeks later.  Never felt constipated though.  

According to my clinic it was all okay.  So consider it the silver lining your intestines will be nice and clean for your clear fluids.

 A jump start on your post-op fitness program maybe?  You are probably well on your way to doing a 5k, albeit on the installment plan!
