high cholesterol post surgery



Recommended Posts

I just had my first labs since my surgery back in November. My cholesterol has gone up a bit and I'm a bit upset. I've lost over 30 pounds and I don't eat any of the study that I used to eat presurgery plus I exercise regularly. Has this happened to anyone else?

If I modify my diet any further I'll be starving myself. I read that this is normal after a dramatic weight loss. So hopefully it'll adjust by the time that I have my next labs done.

Mine went up as well. Still not meds level but higher post op than pre op. I will go back in for labs soon and will see if it has worked itself out. I was 3 months out and now 9 months. I am heading into maintenance soon and want to wait to have the labs redone.

Let us know how that goes.

Yes it has happen to me! I had a lot of blood work done I found out that I have hyperthyroidism that was caused my cholesterol to elevate.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
