It depends on which part of your intesting that was removed. Depending on which part it was, I'm going to assume it was the part that absorbed the water. When you don't reabsorb the water you end up with diarrhea. Sometimes you may have diarrhea for the rest of your life due to bowel resection. Therefore, make sure you keep yourself well hydrated.

1) Increase fiber (fresh fruits & veggies.
2) Eat yogurt with active cultures.
3) Go to health food store & buy something called "Kefir". 9 X more potent than yogyrt. Kinda' like a drinkable, mildly tart yogurt.

the poop must be flowing more easily around your intestine tubes since it is shorter
yeah its normal

its probably becasue your waste travels faster now that your intestine is smaller, so it doesnt have time to get very solid, id say as long as you poop regularly its all gravy (pun intended) lmao

Are you taking stool softeners. Also depends on what and how much you eat and drink. I know that must have hurt my mom had two bowel ressections. She just stopped eating after that.
