Guest guest Posted September 13, 2000 Report Share Posted September 13, 2000 What a lousy day I had: Take the cat to the vet to get neutered. GO to my gyn for a follow up to his finding the lump. He says that he doesn't think they ultrasounded right over the lump, which is under the aureola. He refers me to a surgeon. That appointment is the morning of which I am supposed to go away on business for three days and RUN a conference for 30 people. Then I go to the heart doctor. My blood test results are in: I have to have another fasting blood to recheck my glucose as it's high. Then he wants me to get my bad cholesterol down by lowering my fat intake, which I am not prepared to do. It's not even in the high range. And, I think I may have to stop a medication that has helped me a lot. Pick up my cat at the vets and they tell me no playing between the cat and the dog for a week and to keep them separated if they play at all. I can't keep them separated except by putting the cat in the cellar or keeping corky in his crate, which he is never in anymore, full time. And to make matters worse, I had to take a full day off work for all this crap. And oh, at the heart doctor, I weighed five lbs. more than I did six months ago when I was there (which WAS my all time low but I thought this morning I was back there, guess NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I would have preferred to spend the day in bed. The only thing left is to go to the chiropractor and have him hurt my neck. Off I go. corky > Never mind a Your scales are lying and the first one is correct. Two > cups of liquids equals one pound. > Be positive and who is in control here you or the scales?

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2000 Report Share Posted September 14, 2000 My overall cholesterol is good. My bad cholesterol is borderline high. It makes me wonder if the way I am eating on this diet, lots of fat in cream cheese and cheese is bad for the bad cholesterol. It's just me. THe doctor has no problem with me eating high protein and low carb, he just wants me to lower the fat. But that will be very hard to do on this diet. For me anyway. I am not sure what I will do. To tell the truth, I am more concerned about my glucose being high, that's why I have to have another test. Why on earth would that be high on this diet? I can't remember if maybe I had a candy binge in the days before I had the blood test. Anyway, he said I could be on my way to being diabetic, isn't that great news. corky Re: Corky's sacles > > Sorry to hear about your rough day...can you keep the cat in the bathroom > or in a crate?

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2000 Report Share Posted September 14, 2000 > Dear Corky. i hope you know by now that Fat does not make you fat.. fat does > not raise your cholesterol.. carbs do. go read those pages i posted on fats > yesterday... and dont worry. .cholesterol is not as fatal as they say. what > really matters is your triglyceride level. how did that come out?? Corky: Were you tested prior to eating this way? From what I understand, it is the fats COMBINED with carbs that cause high cholesterol and blocked arteries. I'm not a medical professional, but I thought I'd share that. I wonder if you can just change the way you combine your foods... -Jeanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2000 Report Share Posted September 15, 2000 No I didn't get tested prior to eating this way. I do know that ten years ago I had a much better ratio of good to bad, or vice versa, than I do now. corky > > > > Dear Corky. i hope you know by now that Fat does not make you fat.. fat does > > not raise your cholesterol.. carbs do. go read those pages i posted on fats > > yesterday... and dont worry. .cholesterol is not as fatal as they say. what > > really matters is your triglyceride level. how did that come out?? > > Corky: > > Were you tested prior to eating this way? > > From what I understand, it is the fats COMBINED with carbs that cause high > cholesterol and blocked arteries.
