Are Yellow Loose Stools Normal Post Appendectomy?

Is it common to experience yellow loose stools after an appendectomy? I had my appendix out on Saturday. They gave me food that night but when I was sent home the next day I threw it up. I had my first bowel movement before bedtime yesterday. Since then I have felt sick in the stomach. I get pains and each time I go the stool seems to be getting looser and yellower. I have also had a cough since the surgery that hurts the cut at my belly button. They also fixed a hernia in the belly button.
