This week I did something I typically advise against. It started with a visit to a new doc on Mon and I always weigh before seeing a new doc. Then I had my biopsy on Wed, another weigh in. But I also weighed on Tuesday because of Mondays weight.
Sunday was 135 as reported in the original post.
Monday was 132
Tues was 131
Wed was 130.
Messaged my PCP Wed morning since I was dropping so fast with no cause as I was back at full eating over a week ago. She and I talked. She wants me to weigh daily for right now.
This morning I was back to 131 but I had to go back on full liquids at least until the two stitches dissolve. So I will lose again.

Is the weight loss due to a change or addition of medication? Or is it just the issue you had that affected your ability to eat?

Neither. I have a new med to start but I waited til after the lip biopsy to start. And yes, it is known to cause weight loss but I hadn’t started it yet.

I hope you stabilize soon, Liz.

I hope you stabilize soon, Liz.

I have been 131 for 3 days now.

that's good! are you still on liquids only?

No, but it’s back to soft and mushy. I got some Isopure Unflavored during my last round of liquids to help me get protein in. Yesterday for lunch I had a sweet potato with a boatload of butter and a full scoop of the Isopure so it had 31 grams of protein with 27 grams of carbs. Yes, carb heavy but it’s my reality right now.

 

[JackieOnLine]

carbs are your friend if you want to NOT lose weight, for sure.

But they aren’t my friend if I want to not offend others and be miserable

 

[JackieOnLine]
