Hello,

Yes you will lose weight - that is normal. If you're doing a liquid diet, you're most likely expelling that through your urine. How long have you had your braces on? I didn't lose as much weight as you (maybe like, half as much), but I did lose weight fast as well. Try to eat more solid foods. You could eat yogurt, pasta, etc. whatever fits your preferences. You need to exercise your jaw so that it won't get stiff.

You could always see a medical professional or your primary care physician if necessary. You are dangerously underweight for your height, so please nourish your body! You may gain some of the weight back as you transition to more solid foods.
