Urgent diarrhea: You don't mention what type of surgery was performed. Some gastrointestinal operations result in a dumping syndrome which includes urgent bm's. Another possibility is a hyperactive gastrocolic reflex. However these shouldn't produce over 10 bm's per day. A stool culture should be done to check for enteric pathogens including parasites. Consult a gastroenterologist for a workup and treatment
