Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Weakness, weight loss suggests malnutrition.
2. Improvement in overall diet along with nutrilite protein diet will be helpful. Also need to keep her mobile and active with mild exercises and minor activities to improve appetite. It also reduces depression and improves cognition.
3. Her her hemoglobinlevel and protein level done. She will also require vitamin and mineral supplements. Not to worry about gall stones for now. Improvement in physical condition essential.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
