Since having my bowel removed I have not had normal bowel movements. I have diareoha everyday and have not had a solid stool since te op. Is this normal ?

Hi and welcome to HCM,
It is normal to have diarhea for some days after bowel resection. Since after months it has been consistent with same diarrhea then you need a follow up with your gastroenterologist. Track your diet. Some food may cause loose stools. Avoid those foods.
Wish you speedy recovery
Thanks
