Stool in 3 days? My digestive system works much faster than that. More like 3-6 hours.

But to explain a bit. When things go into your stomach, they get dissolved by acid. Some things dissolve quicker than others. Plant matter takes much more time than the liquids (water and oils) that are inside it. So those liquids get absorbed quicker by your stomach while the solids take a bit more time. Some things don’t even get absorbed like corn.
