Yes, losing weight too fast—typically defined as more than 3 pounds (1.36 kg) per week—can significantly increase the risk of developing gallstones and pancreatitis. [1, 2]
Rapid weight loss (via crash diets, very-low-calorie diets, or bariatric surgery) causes the liver to release extra cholesterol into bile, while the gallbladder fails to empty frequently enough, leading to sludge and stone formation. [1, 2,

This happened to my mother after chemo and it ended up being what killed her in the end. This is the main reason I don't try and lose more than 8lbs a month. I'm convinced my lose skin would have been a lot worse if I had of lost more rapidly.

I have been on reta since 1/5. I started at .5mg the first week and I am now at 2.5mg every 3.5 days. I eat pretty much whatever I want twice a day and I do light exercise 4 times a week. I have been losing 1-2 lbs a week. If you eat clean and exercise more than me you will lose way more than I do.

Hey we started on the same day. Reta buddies???🤝

Sorry. I didnt think gall stones would be so fatal. I have lost more than 25 lbs a month so many times.
