So I'm feeling super great and have finally got into the workout mode, had my surgery July 18. Than......I get my six month test results back (had them done a little late) my cholesterol is super high. I had an appointment with my primary doctor who tested me on August 20 th and than last week. All cholesterol good and bad numbers were bad, no problem in August. I told him that I'm eating mostly Protein to lose weight. Of course he said that is the problem and put me on meds.

Does anyone else have high cholesterol since surgery? Never had this problem when I was fat, Lol. Now go figure with 101 lbs down since surgery! Help any suggestions?

Livinglifeout, My diet on an average day goes wake up, have a premixed Protein shake. I drink Rockin Refuel Muscle builder, 190 calories, 30g protein. Then for lunch, I try to stick with only solid protein. Today, I went to an Italian restaurant with clients, and had an antipasta platter for lunch, so I had some procuitto, some mortadella, and salami, pecorino, asiago, and motzarella. I had about 1/2 a slice of each of meat and about 2 bites of each cheese. I also ate 4 olives, and a small piece of bread about 1/4 the size of my fist with some olive oil. Typically I only have protein though, like left over steak, or roast chicken. I can eat about 3-4 ounces of solid protein for lunch before I am full typically. If I have a snack, I will usually have beef jerky or sandwich meat. For dinner tonight I am having coq au vin (chicken) and I might have a few tablespoons or 1/4 of a cup of rice with it. I am usually around 700-800 calories in a day. I usually have solid protein and veggies for dinner. I track on MyFitnessPal, my username is 920amy if you use MyFitnessPal feel free to add me!
