Weight loss: Please see your provider as soon as possible, losing 9Ibs is not normal. You might need IV hydration and also further evaluation.

See doctor: You run the risk of getting dehydrated if your loose motions have not stopped, please see your doctor. You may take an antimotility medication like Lomotil (diphenoxylat and atropine) or peptobismol, available over the counter. Keep drinking water and if you lose any more weight and do not have access to a doctor, go to the nearest emergency room.

It is very : Important that you consult with your physician for losing that much weight with poor appetite . You will need a comprehensive exam and diagnostic studies to come to a diagnosis and get proper treatment as soon as they find out the cause.
