I'm guessing you are still on liquid diet. Pretty common issue - others probably have said the same.

Once you add back in the mushie food stage, it goes away.

I had one added issue, I found out I was intolerant to powedered whey. No idea why but my diarrhea continued past the mushie stage so I tested my theory.

I've been fine ever since. If you still have the problem after a few days of mushies, then you may look into either lactose intolerance or some other potential issue. But early on with liquids it is normal.

Someone did recommend adding benefiber, i did that and it helped a little but not entirely.

Thanks everyone!  I'll play around and see what happens.  I haven't tried the benefiber  but I'll give it a shot.

I am presurgery but was having the same problem.  My nut suggested adding a fiber supplement such as Citracel and that has really worked.  I do not know if you can take that after surgery though.
