Hi there, i have been around the boards for sometime. I thought and my Dr. thought i had stopped losing weight but i went to put a pair of pants on today and they fit so despite eating fatty foods , drinking some coffee again i'm still losing. I am bottom line getting concerned again. The only thing i am keeping on mind is that before kids i was a size 9 and i am alomost there down from a size 16-18. Lastly i was thinking the other day maybe it has something to do with the pain meds i'm on but it doesn't fit as I in the last year started the weight loss and I have been on the pain pills alot longer, I also thought maybe it might be a combination of things like the stress i have daily, the pills and thyroid issues but even my dr. didn't think i would have such rapid weight loss in such a short time. any suggestion would help! I am enjoying mind you just concerned at the same time!

My first thought is that if you were once a size nine (before you had kids) then there's nothing to worry about. However, if the rapid weight loss continues, then you should be concerned. Then perhaps you might think about finding another doctor for a second opinion.

Eating fatty foods is not good for your heart hun,
it will clog your arteries faster than anything

...
if you keep losing huge amounts of weight without trying,
please visit another doctor for a second opinion. i am not trying
to scare you, but it is possible that you may have intestinal parasites
absorbing your nutrition (tape worms,which can come from pork.).
if you feel zapped of energy or have unusually loose stools,please make an appointment with an endocrinologist A.S.A.P; they may also ask for a stool sample to test for eggs.

praying for the best
