Ursodiol

[Guerml95 11]

Hi all!!!

I was sleeved on 6/10 and recently began ursodiol 300mg twice a day. Although I shouldn't since I'm still in the early stages and fluctuating, I weigh myself usually everyday...my first weigh in after the medication I fluctuated 3lbs up..did anyone else notice if their gallbladder meds changed their weight or slowed the progress of their weight loss? A few people have expressed bloating and weight gain while others have said it helps to aid in weight loss as your gallbladder can breakdown cholesterol etc. perhaps my weight is attributed to the fact that I had about 680 cals compared to my average of 400-500. Thanks all!!!

I had surgery on 6/10 as well. Can you believe it has been a month???

My doc had me start Ursodiol after my 2 wk appt. I didn't notice much change, but I did notice my first couple weeks were pretty slow. Once I started exercising every day (walking, swim, even jog a bit, whatever... variety is the spice of life!) I noticed I started losing more consistently. That's just me though...

And hey, congrats on the 1 month!

I'm am so glad you both say it is going fast. I have only been home for two days and I'm already tired of being tired, LOL.

Have you noticed getting more acid or just feeling more energy drain with ursodiol? I now take it before bed because I can't stand the way it makes me feel.

I did notice a slight stall when I started. Just lost 1/2 every 3 days instead of pound a day. The. Went into a stall for almost two weeks

I was on Ursoldiol for 4 months after surgery, and I never noticed any side-effects or that it hindered my weight loss. But everone's different.
