    The first time I ever lost a huge amount of weight, I lost it too fast. I was trying to join the military (which I did) and I lost 47 pounds in 1 month. Due to that, I had to have my gallbladder taken out at 18 and have had pancreatitis ever since. I have undergone several surgeries and have been on a restricted diet as well.

    Tip to others: do it the right way and take your time when it comes time to slimming down or else :)

    I guess I am on the flip side. I lost 30 pounds because I was hospitalized for 16 days with pancreatitis. I went 7 days with no nutrition, only ice chips, and then 7 more days fed through a PICC line in my arm vein. I was rehospitalized again 3 weeks later. Definitely not the recommended way to lose weight.
