more lab stuff
My cholesteral was also higher than desired but it wasn't fasting so that may be it. She didn't ask me to go back on Lipator. But you know, we eat a lot of protein, animal based and I don't have the fiber, EVOO, and all the positve stuff I used to do. Anyone else with cholesteral problems?

I don't know what to tell you about the cholesterol. My hubby is a normy and his cholesterol meds kicked in and started working better when he started high protein low carb and got away from low fat and higher carb.

I've been on statons for years and I truely believe a lot of mine is genetic also. My dad died at 49 from heart attack and of course, then, we had no idea about cholesteral. Total was 212, LDL was 142 so it was high but maybe that was due to it not being fasting. We'll see in March if it goes down.

117 isn't all that high if the range is 35-150. If your range is 32-100, it looks high. 2k per day is NOTHING.
If you were doing every other day, try 3 per week. That oughta tuck it in around 90. Below 70 is not very beneficial according to newer studies.

P.S. My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.
I had high cholesterol before surgery. I tried to come off my lovastatin after about 6 months and had to go back on it. My PCP told me I probably needed to continue taking it until I was through loosing weight.
I just had to come back off it because my liver enzymes went crazy with my last blood work. She is going to check liver enzymes next week. I started Milk Thistle like Gina recommended and hope it helps them to come down.
My cholesterol will be rechecked in February and I'm hoping it will stay normal or I'll have to start taking Crestor instead of lovastatin..
Good luck. Hope you can stay off of it.
Linda
