Liquids in, liquids out was definitely true for me too. Unfortunately! Don't worry about it being an issue during surgery, as I'm sure you've been directed to fast from the night before. 

Might be something in the protein shake contributing to the diarrhea too. Maybe try a different type/brand to see if there's an improvement.

Don't you have to do some sort of bowel prep tonight? The idea is to have your guts as empty as possible.
