I'm not sure if anyone here is familiar with GERD, but I was diagnosed with it about six months ago, and have had to change my entire diet in order to prevent having horrible reflux on an almost constant basis. I now eat extremely small meals that are low in fat. I avoid breaded and fried foods and drink nothing but water. I can't even have tomatoes because they're so acidic.
Naturally, all of this has lead to me losing a lot of weight; which initially felt great, but went from being 240 lbs. to 208 lbs. the last time I went in to see my doctor. That was two weeks ago, and I just weighed myself a minute ago and I'm already down to 201 now. Should I be concerned about losing weight so fast?

At just around 7lbs lost a month, I wouldn't worry. That's fast, but not nearly as fast as you might think. I know someone who lost 150lbs in one year. Now, that's a lot to lose in a year. You're being forced to be a bit conscious about what you eat, that's not a bad thing..despite the unfortunate GERD. If you feel it's becoming unhealthy, I'd recommend talking to your doctor.
