I lost a pile of weight in the beginning when the symptoms really kicked in, about 15-20 pounds in about three weeks through both not being able to eat and not keeping up weight training at the gym. It was scary for a while, but as I eventually figured out what I could/couldn't eat, it bottomed out and then started to rise again. I've been pretty dedicated to my diet so far and have gained some (about 10 lbs) of the weight back in the last number of years. As long as you have a diet that helps you out, you don't really have to worry about excess loss, although it usually does take some time to figure out what you can/can't eat.
