Cholesterol question for the docs here

[KBScobravert]

Docs...help...If I needed to drop my total cholesterol from a 252 to less than 240 without affecting my HDL(39)/LDL(144) what can I do in the next 24 hours?

I tested Wednesday last week and had a 242 with 39 HDL but my triglycerides were 401 and not able to obtain a LDL reading.

I tested again on Saturday with a 255(went up), a 39HDL and a 144LDL with my triglycerides down to 340.

Since Saturday I have taken two fish oils daily and a Crestor (20mg).

I need to get my numbers below a 240 total and 160 LDL and above 30HDL before I can go back to work in Afghanistan and my job offer window is closing rapidly.

No. But it does sound good right now.

I need a secret to drop it on the blood test. I am sure that 3 days of Crestor and fish oil and watching my cholesterol intake will not have that big of effect.

water diet and exercise as much as possible until the test




jk that is terrible advice, i'm sure the docs will chime in here shortly

Oatmeal?

Oatmeal?

Got some coming right now thanks.

I was hoping there is a "drink XXXXXX and it will drop it for a short period"

These fuckers are being shitheads about getting me a waiver over 12 points of total cholesterol.

I am sure that if I test 2 weeks from now it will be down but I need to test tomorrow (again) so I can get results back to them by Thursday. If all goes well I will be getting a plane ticket to Greenville,SC either Monday or Tuesday next week so I can fly on the 16th. Two weeks in Greenville then back to the land of sand and haji.

Fasting is about the only way. Did you fast before your other tests?

A lb of bacon a day keeps the doctor away.

No cats

There are no strangers here. Besides my wife might get upset.

Each time I fasted 12-15 hours.

That is what landed me in this position.

I'd go "water-only" until the test. 12 points is not a lot.
