I'm the one who began this thread topic in 2008. I'm now losing and regaining the same 10 pounds over and over again. I'm not on anti-depressants. I'm not on steroids. I am on levothyroxine and have been for 20 years. I never had a weight issue related to my thyroid gland or anything else. If I gained a few pounds here or there, I'd walk it off in a matter of days. No so with this weight gained post gallbladder removal. There was the initial "honeymoon period" which lasted about 3 months, during which I looked as if I needed some meat on my bones. And then came the meat! I'm nearly 5'7" and luckily I am a mesomorph: weight gain is evenly distributed due to my broad shoulders. I was an athlete all my life. Many athletes are mesomorphs. However, I do have an extra spare tire around my middle and it has nothing to do with my food intake, which is next to nothing. I've just invested in a "kit" via www.gallbladderattack.com -- today was my first day taking all the capsules and drinking the chocolate flavored powder. We shall see. In the past year I have been unable to get below 159 pounds. My normal, healthy weight is 130-145. I don't think I'd like to be 130 again. I'd look emaciated. But 145 would be great. As mentioned above, I continue to gain and lose the same 10-12 pounds. Today I weigh 168.5. Why? I have no idea. It hasn't a thing to do with food or exercise. I rescued a lovely dog so I'd be sure to exercise her, if not myself. We walk about 4 to 5 miles a day and I can't get below 159. I'm disgusted and I've lost all hope. I am eager to see if this $245 "kit" will help me lose weight. I'll give it every chance and all of my attention. But I remain furious with the surgeon who took out my gallbladder. He lied to me. He flat out lied to me and I wonder where he stands on upholding the Hippocratic oath: "First do no harm." He did harm, grievous harm as far as I'm concerned. Wishing you all very well. If you discover a "miracle" please don't hesitate to share!
