Maria, in our experience with the weight loss in the beginning it was nothing abnormal, just the initial physical changes. As time went by and he kept losing weight it was a major issue for us. Let your doctor know about the loss and together keep an eye on it. Ed is now on Magace to help with the bulking up process because he is eating too but remains losing. Since you are just noticing the loss it maybe just one of those changes. Do not get too alarmed until you speak with your doctor since it may be nothing too concerning. Let us know how you are doing with this, hopefully it is not a problem. I will pray that this all proves to be nothing to follow up on. Lots of love, Maria. Bon Appetit!!>>Believe51
