Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Very rapid weight loss is normal initially, as your kidney function improves and the initial fat breakdown starts. you can expect to lose probably 15 or so pounds before it slows down a bit, perhaps more, so just remember to keep the protein up to about 1-1.5 grams/Kg (2.2 pounds) body mass on a descending curve until you match with 65 grams per day as a minimum. This is to preserve your muscle tissue and keep you in the fat burning metabolism. Keep the hydration levels high, 64 oz or more a day and use a good multivitamin. Adult dose of a children's chewable metabolizes more efficiently, by the way and provides complete levels quite effectively.
