Try to not eat any fatty foods, and no fried foods. That might help with your bowels. You May have to increase your creon. It takes at least a year to recover and for your body to figure out the new “norm”. Best of luck! I only put back 20 of the 68 pounds I lost, but I lost a lot of muscle. Keep going strong!
