Just guessing that it's "Diarrhea"...
AKA - "the hershey squirts"...

 Try taking some probiotics and eating yogurt. Between the surgery and all the antibiotics you're given, your stomach has a lot of its natural bacteria stripped away and as a result you have the constant runs.

And, of course, call your surgeon. The staff there may be of some help. 

I assume D is diarrhea? You can say it out loud here. In case you haven't noticed we talk about everything and have photos to boot.

 Not sure what you mean by D? But you should be able to eat something. I live in Atascocita across the bridge. Who was your surgeon? Have someone make you protein shakes. I learned to love them but was hard at first. I hated the taste, now I love them.
I had mine about a year and a half ago and I am slowly aging the weight back.
I have gained 16 lbs back after losing 70. Just be careful and get your protein. That is where most of my problems occurred.

Are you sure it's diahhrea and not loose stools?  Since you are on a liquid diet there is nothing really to firm up your stools so they should be loose.

I'm guessing this is a case of liquid in, liquid out.  This too shall pass...
