I did this for roughly 3 weeks while in the hospital for Crohn’s disease. Nothing by mouth and only had saline for 2 weeks because TPN was not available. The last week I was on TPN before starting to eat again. I went from 190lbs to 135lbs and it took months to gain weight back. The first few days sucked but eventually you weren’t hungry at all, but I really wanted water and couldn’t have it.
Same, during my recovery from both surgeries I dropped a ton of weight, that I didn’t really have to lose since leading up to the procedure I had already lost a ton of fat and muscle. 5’9 male and I got down to 114
So many ensure shakes after that until I was able to eat. Then lots of food like I hadn’t ate before
