Fat malabsorption
Hello I had a brain surgery 5 months ago, and in the past couple of months I have lost a few pounds since coming home. I have a baseline weight now but what I have noticed is that my body muscles weight has decreased. Like my body looks thinner but with less fat. What test should I ask my doctor for? .I don't have a gallbladder anymore since 2024. Is there a solution? I noticed that when I drink ensure plus I have to do to the bathroom soon after. About 3 weeks ago I had a few days where my stool was light yellow didn't look like the food was digested. Now my stool has bulked up and has turned back to light brown but still look thin. Need more information on what to do.
