As far as weight loss goes, this is NOT the time to lose it. Doctors will prefer the patient doesnt lose anything at all. Most of us have lost considerable amounts of weight. When you see weight loss like that it comes with muscle loss, malnutrition and dehydration. These things can add up to be very serious. I am still very weak 7 years after going thru my first round of OC. I lost not just weight, I lost muscle tone as well. Even though you arent eating, you can ensure your formula is enough to meet the daily minimums.

Of course it could be trauma. You never know what it is until a biopsy report comes back. Best wishes with your biopsy and second opinion.
