Anyone's Cholesterol go up???

Hey everyone, I recently did my blood work and found out that my cholesterol is now 214. Ok, well when I was 300 pounds it was 210, then when I did my bloodowrk when I was 3 months out from surgery it went down to 189. 4 months later it is up to 214!! My doc said he's not concerened maybe it's from all the protein and cheese I eat. I went to the nutritionist that works with my surgeon and she said try to lay off the cheeses that are a little highter in fat, and I shouldn't drink 2% milk either. I just don't get how my cholesterol could be higher now then when I was 300 pounds!!Anyone else have a similar experience??

Mine didn't go up in fact my total cholesterol is only 170. But my doc just put me back on Lovastatin cause my HDL and LDL are not where she wants them to be My good is only 38 and my bad is 111. She says that for diabetics the bad needs to be 70 or less:shurg: So I'm back on the Lovastatin.....at least for now.

Hey Chickie: Cholesterol is a tricky thing...it could just be simple genetics giving you a higher number. Case in point...when I weighed 293, I cholesterol number was 175 (it is now 140). However, my husband...who has about 5% body fat and runs daily, eats well...has a level of 225. Just unfortunate genetics. No worries, Chickie! Just make sure it is under control. Other than that...how are you? I sent you a message on myspace...did you get it? Hugs, Jersey
