I'm almost 3 months post op and just did my first round of blood tests. According to the results I have low HDL and low alkaline phosphatase. When I google what both of these mean, they both talk about malnutrition. Anyone have similar lab results their first round? Should I be worried?

That's interesting. Did you eat the recommended protein and take the vitamins?

Are you active? You can increase your HDL through exercise.

Yes, I have been exceeding protein goals and taking my vitamins.

Yes, I have a personal trainer who I weight train with and I run every other day.

There are foods you can add into your diet to increase your HDL and it also may increase as you lose weight. I would check with your doctor to determine if there's any cause for concern.

Yeah, I was looking at the list of foods that increase HDL but do not see much on there that I would able to tolerate.
I meet with the doc on Jan 3rd to go over my results

Have you discussed the results with your doctor yet? What does s/he say?
