Although I'm thrilled that my type-2 diabetes has gone into remission my endocrinologist informed me that my cholesterol is at 286 I'm really bummed and hoped I wouldn't have to go on meds but it seems that I might have inherited my mothers ability to make bad cholesterol. Fortunately my good cholesterol is great.

Just needed to vent. Thanks!

You may need to give it a bit more time. Mine now is too low sometimes.

I fixed my cholesterol numbers in the past 3 months by going off of wheat. My triglycerides were at one time nearly 700. They are just below 175 now. My numbers are all within normal range now. I was also able to cut my insulin in half and get off of two blood pressure meds,,, all of this pre-op!  I take u-500 insulin which is a potent concentrated insulin that is 5x stronger than the u-100 insulin most people take. My pharmacy has to special order it and I was able to not only cut it in half but get off of my pump as well. I can't wait to see what RNY will do!   I will continue to avoid wheat in my diet after surgery as well.

Wheat - evil stuff,, even the whole grain.

I'm also grain free as well.

Congrats! I hope you continue to do well. My cholesterol is still higher but very well managed. I don't eat hardly any wheat. My pouch can't tolerate it.
