Cholesterol seven months out



Recommended Posts

Did you fast for 12 hours before the test ?? Consider retesting! I'm a RN in a clinic and if it's significantly higher after major weight loss I would recommended testing again, especially considering your doc wants to put you on meds. It could have been a fluke, it happens more than people think. Just my opinion.

Great suggestion definitely going to ask for a retest. He wanted to test in six weeks, but I really don't want to take the meds.

Livinglifeout, My diet on an average day goes wake up, have a premixed Protein shake. I drink Rockin Refuel Muscle builder, 190 calories, 30g Protein. Then for lunch, I try to stick with only solid protein. Today, I went to an Italian restaurant with clients, and had an antipasta platter for lunch, so I had some procuitto, some mortadella, and salami, pecorino, asiago, and motzarella. I had about 1/2 a slice of each of meat and about 2 bites of each cheese. I also ate 4 olives, and a small piece of bread about 1/4 the size of my fist with some olive oil. Typically I only have protein though, like left over steak, or roast chicken. I can eat about 3-4 ounces of solid protein for lunch before I am full typically. If I have a snack, I will usually have beef Jerky or sandwich meat. For dinner tonight I am having coq au vin (chicken) and I might have a few tablespoons or 1/4 of a cup of rice with it. I am usually around 700-800 calories in a day. I usually have solid protein and veggies for dinner. I track on MyFitnessPal, my username is 920amy if you use MyFitnessPal feel free to add me!

Great info, thank you for taking the time to help me..I'll add you:)

      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.
