Anyone else have to take Ursodiol 300mg capsules twice a day? I'm almost 4 weeks post op and got prescribed these pills 2 weeks post op. Dr. said they help produce bile so I won't get gallstones.

I am on Ursodiol 250mg tablets once a day. I was sent home with this prescription. I was told that it will help prevent gallstones as well during rapid weight loss.

I was put on 300mg twice a day at my 1 month checkup. Script was written for 5 months. My surgeon says by then sleevers are past the danger of getting gallstones.

That's about the time I got them and had to take them for 4 months for that reason. Dosage was different I think.

Yup, 300mg twice a day for six months....I am on my last refill and crossing my fingers that no gallbladder issues arise, so far so good.

I'm on 500 mg once a day, I have to break the tablet in half and take 30 minutes apart.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
