Need advice for reoccuring blowouts with a resident

I need advice on what to do for a patient who has major blowouts every time after I change them. So I have this resident, I'm more of a floater at this facility, but when I get on a specific floor I tend to have more or less the same assignment. So whenever this resident is in one of these assignments, every time I change them they have a major blowout. I'm talking about like, the poop gets all the way to the socks, and everything is soiled.

And it takes a while, considering I'm a newer CNA, and I also tend to have twelve to fifteen residents a day. So the problem is that also takes a detour for me, because it's like, okay, that takes a while to change, especially after I already changed the sheets, and I tend to not have enough linen to use for the same person twice.

I know some people might say don't change them until after they have their bowel movement, but the thing is this resident is supposed to get up at 9:30 because they have a family visit, so I can't leave them in bed unless they request it.

So does anyone have advice on how to keep them from getting totally soaked again right after I already changed them? It's very watery, very liquidy. Trying to avoid having to do a full change twice in a row. Any tips would help.
