Thats normal from what i heard, because my mother was recently diagnosed with diabtetes type 2 and in 3 months she has lost aprox, 35  pounds, and the doctors sayd thats normal because shes not eating sugar anymore, and the sugar its very fatning!

All one has to do is read the label for sugar. If you get sick eating certain foods, don't eat them. Steroids can do this.

if he was on a liquid diet, it will probably take awhile for his stomach to adjust.  I would suggest 6 small meals a day.  Avoid anything fatty as that will probably really bother him if he has not ingested any in awhile.  

I once lost a lot of weight during a particularly stressful time in my life.. It took me 2 years to get my weight back up because my stomach was so messed up from it.
