Maybe some of my mood swings and weakness has a cause....I am quite low in B1 (thiamine). I have to start taking a B1 vitamin and also an additional B complex along with my Optisource every day. I didn't realize the symptoms of a B1 deficiency. The only other thing that came back off was my "good" cholesterol...was too low! It's down to 32. Lowest it's been. When I asked Katie what to do to raise it, she really couldn't tell me, other than to check with my PCP. I found that kinda weird. But then again, I didn't have a great experience at the Kane Center today anyway....

Monica, my daughter has low good cholesterol and her dr. told her to get more exercise, I take a vit, B1 everyday and mine was good when I had my blood test, Good luck to you. make sure you take all your Vit, everyday, .

      Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!

Yes please tell us what happened. I noticed it was a little strange when I was there last week myself.

I've been told the only thing that will increase the good cholesterol number is exercise. ~~Cindy

Seriously???? My good cholesterol is low as well. It's at 35. I am now walking 3 miles a day. Do you mean like weight training or some other type of non cardio? I want to start working with the bands now and see if I can tone these flabby arms of mine. Too dang warm to cover them up.

Ask your PCP about niacin (OTC) or niaspan ( Rx niacin formula). My husband takes niaspan to bring his HDL up while letting his LDL alone. Beth
