Fatty liver, the sequel

I posted several days ago asking if any of you all had been diagnosed with a fatty liver, and what the ramifications were, as my doctor said that my blood work came back indicating such. Evidently, from your replies and from my research, this is common with WLS patients, and stems from the rapid weight loss (not to mention the fact that we likely have fatty livers from being fat, or why would doctors ask us to go on liquid diets before the surgery so the liver won't be so heavy?) ANYWAY, long story short, I had an ultrasound Monday and a second blood test today. Turns out the liver is not so fat, and my liver blood work improved. I was on Protonix which can skew liver test results, so the doctor had taken me off of that. You might ask your doctor about it if you're on Protonix and your liver tests come back abnormal. Anyway, thanks for the support and reassurance. Also, a ??? of sorts - he re-checked my cholesterol this morning. A month ago it was 222 and today it was 177 (HDL a month ago was 69, so I'm not that worried.) A month ago it was a fasting blood test; today I'd had 3/4 of an egg McMuffin for breakfast (with 1/2 of the English muffin - I don't eat the whole thing). Granted, of all the breakfast sandwiches an Egg McMuffin is relatively lowest in fat, but still. Go figure! I'm thinking maybe next time instead of fasting I'll have an Egg McMuffin and just not tell him, see what happens. (Not really...but I'd love to...) Also, gang, wish me luck. I'm running in a officially sanctioned, medal-producing half-marathon tomorrow morning. Say a little prayer around 6 a.m. Central Time for your fellow A-teamer Marcia. I'll report on it afterwards, if I survive.

Marcia; I am so glad you have some answers. Kind of a weird situation. I am thinking about you and your race.
