I have that condition but I never actually lost weight. I did gain weight from a steroid my doctors put me on, which I eventually lost most of. But most any time someone loses any significant amount of weight over a short period of time your body is likely to gain it back along with a few additional pounds.

Will you lose weight after colectomy?
I think this will vary from individuals. I lost almost a third of my body weight through Ulcerative Colitis but after the total colectomy I started (very slowly at first) putting weight back on. After my body adjusted to the new plumbing situation (this took about 3 months) and with the help of Loperamide I have got back to a healthy weight.
What surgery did Amy brenneman recent have?
Amy Brenneman recently had surgery done due to her battle with an Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) called Ulcerative Colitis which is basically ulcers of the large intestine. All over google i have seen that her bowels are now "fixed" and "cured". This is not so. Ulcerative Colitis is an uncurable disease. It is unknown what causes it but it can be down to many factors. Genes,Environment,Diet,Stress. So she could not have had her intestines "fixed" the only surgery that can be done for Ulcerative colitis is the removal of the large intestine or to get a pouch attached to your small colon and let your waste into that for a year and let your large bowel heal over time then reattach it back to small intestine. But there is still a risk of it returning. So to me I believe Amy Brenneman now has a colostomy bag. If this is not the case and she had a surgury which "fixed" her bowels well I want the number because I also suffer from Ulcerative Colitis.
Can Ulcerative Colitis cause muscle pain?
No. That would not be a symptom. Joint pain can be a symptom, but not muscle pain. In opposition to the previous answer, I can tell you from experience that UC can cause widespread, multi-muscle pain. The previous answer said that joint pain can be a symptom, and yes, that is correct, however muscle pain is a distinct and very real side effect. I have had UC for 6 years and with it, multiple lingering pains that no medicine has yet been able to treat. I have deep muscle pain in my back, legs and arms, not to mention the abdominal pain which is so very common with the disease. Only recently have my doctors begun to consider the possibility that the UC has triggered a kind of fibromyalgia (not necessarily the "popular" version of this, but the literal meaning--muscle pain) that is very restricting. I have also been unable to sleep well for a long time, and I have headaches most of the time. My doctor says that new studies have noted that these symptoms are common in people with active ulcerative colitis. If you are concerned about the connection between the muscle pain and ulcerative colitis, talk to your doctor about it.
