I ' ve just started my fourth week on Induction ( decided to stay on it cos I have a lot of weight to lose ). I have felt fairly well up until now but unfortunately I have now noticed some problems.
I am very pleased with the weight loss in the last 3 weeks, 19 1 / 2 lbs ( perhaps this is too quick? ). Now the weight loss has slowed up which I accept but I ' m feeling unwell.
I ' ve totally lost my appetite, which after reading posts on this forum I realise is fairly normal. When I do eat something fatty I just end up feeling really sick.
Now to the delicate bit, I dont feel constipated but would say I am going to the toilet about once a week. In the last two days when I go to empty my bladder I have noticed blood coming from my bottom. Is this something to do with my diet or do I have another problem?
I take medication for high blood pressure and would dearly like to lose the weight so I can come off the meds, although my doctor is sceptical that this is the cause.
Anybody got any advice / comments to offer me?
Thanks in anticipation
Lizzie.

Call your doctor. Rectal bleeding is not something that should be ignored. Ever. It may just be an internal hemorrhoid, but it could be much more serious.
Call now.

Agreed!
Go immediately to your doctor / hospital. And, one bowel movement per week is NOT GOOD for your GI tract.
Good luck and Godspeed.
