As I had posted previously, my met dosage was just upped to 2550mg from 1500mg and I have been having killer G.I. side effects. I have been feeling so awful but I needed a higher dose to get my IR under control.

Well, after my last RE appointment (about 3 weeks ago), I weighed myself as soon as I got home. I decided to weigh myself yesterday to see if I had lost any weight (since I lost 65lbs initially on the 1500mg) and lo and behold: 6lbs lighter!!!!

I am so psyched- I'll put up with these side effects forever if it helps the weight come off...LOL

Congrats on losing.

If you lost it, I found it. I am eating healthier and less and still gaining. Plus I exercise regularly and the weight still finds me.

good job on losing.

Way to go Aimee! The met's been working for me too, and I'm willing to put up with a few side effects as well. Once you get used to the higher dose, they hopefully will get better. Congrats on the weight loss, and I hope you have continued success!!

I was wondering how did you lose all of that weight? Do you take regular Glucophage? I was wondering because I took regular Gluc a year and 1/2 ago and lost around 25 pounds. Then my insurance company swithced to Metformin and I was on that around 2-3 months and could not take the side effects anymore. I still have a LONG way to go though. Now I am on Glucophage XR and have been on it for 6 months and haven't lost ANYTHING......well, maybe my mind .
Anyway, Congrats to you again! Keep up the good work.
