The goal of Crohns disease treatment is to be free of all GI inflammation. If this is accomplished then your bowel movements will be the same as anyone's, usually 1-3 stool per day. But bowel habits may vary a lot depending on the nature of the Crohns disease and whether surgery has ever been done.
It should return to your pre- disease pattern with successful treatment.
It will be quite variable. If your Crohn’s disease isn’t well controlled bowel movements should return to “your” normal.
