    SherryJo,

    Sorry to hear this. I've been dealing with colitis most of my life and it can get exhausting and confusing. I'd ask my doc if this weight-loss aid is safe. Does your GI office have a nutritionist on staff? That could be a good resource to help you get to a healthy weight for your surgery. Sending good wishes for a speedy recovery and being flare-free!

    SherryJo,

    I too am overweight and have ulcerative colitis.  Such a bummer.  I just try and bulk up on my fiber.  The weight loss is slow but I figured it is very healthy.  I take Metamucil at night before bed and then I have about 35 grams of fiber a day.  It keeps me full so I do lose weight but like I said it is slow.  Maybe a pound or two a month.
