Yeah... Expect that for a while post op too. "Liquid in, liquid out." There's a popular phrase around here for the first couple if weeks post op: Never Trust a Fart. 

 

In all seriousness though, post op, it becomes obnoxious because you feel so crumby. Ask your surgeon about taking a gummy probiotic post op. The antibiotics they give you kill good flora. Probiotics helped me TONS post op in getting things... solid again. Good luck!

You are lucky to be feeling full many don't get to that point until day 3/4.  Yes, it is normal to have the runs as that is all you are taken in.  You are doing great.  Keep up the good work!
