Guest guest Posted August 4, 2001 Report Share Posted August 4, 2001 Hi everyone, I have a question. I was wondering if we have to eat so much protien, how does it affect the cholesterol levels? Does it go up in time because of you are supposed to eat more meats? I am concerned about this because I don't like beans, eggs, or cottage cheese much. I do love cheese though. And yogert is ok. Just wondering and I am so appriciate of this group. I read everything that is posted. ) I am learning so much from this group. By the way, I have another question for you guys, its a bit embarassing, but here goes. I weigh too much for my 300lb scales, (I am, I think, 365ish) and someone told me that if you stand on two scales evenly, you can tell your weight by adding the two up. I was at Wal-Mart the other day, and I kept trying to stand on two scales and see, but people kept coming, and I was too embarrassed to be seen doing this...lol. Well, that is all for now. Thanks so much for your answeres and this whole group. You guys are awesome. Oh, and by the way, 'Joe, I will be praying for you too, I strongly believe in the power of prayer!'

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2001 Report Share Posted August 4, 2001 Tami, Malabsorption is the key to the long-term effectiveness of this surgery. This especially applies to fat. Because fat is not absorbed as well, your cholesterol level should actually go down. My friend just had her cholesterol level checked at her 9-month post-op appointment with her PCP and it had dropped to 170 from somewhere well above 250. Freedom! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2001 Report Share Posted August 4, 2001 My numbers dropped from 220 or 230 to 170 (I think). I don't have my labs near by but I do know they dropped quite a bit since my surgery. TJ LAP DS 2/16/01 Dr.Dennis ,Jr. Marietta, GA -80 lbs. > Hi everyone, > I have a question.
