That's what I am hoping for. I really want to get off the meds. My surgeon thinks that I should be able to ditch them all (diabetes, high blood and cholestrol) within the next year. It was the main reason that I opted for the surgery.

Oh ok because my blood sugar level was a 7.2, that really scared me

My A1C came back dead normal (5.4) and my blood sugar was normal at the 6 month checkup. My PCP will never say it's been "resolved." He calls it "controlled." I disagree and so does the surgeon. My BP is 120/70 when I last checked a few months ago.

My cholesterol is still sky high. It runs in my family. My mom is on statins and they don't work at all. I've read that statins are worse than having high cholesterol and simply having high cholesterol alone does NOT increase risk for stroke or heart disease.

I don't even like taking Tylenol. I don't trust drugs because doctors do not truly know all the side effects. The known ones are bad enough.

High cholesterol isn't the killer at all - it's the oxidation from eating the bad foods - carbs, oils that aren't naturally derived (i.e. Canola, Corn, Cottonseed, etc) it's actually been proven that high cholesterol as you get older can actually help you live longer.

You and I have been reading the same things. I now only eat olive and coconut oil. I've heard margarine and canola oil compared to synthetic motor oil.

I also stay away from high processed foods. Hopefully I can repair at least some of the damage done or do little more damage.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
