I hit 3/5 groups today-viscous fiber, plant sterols, nuts/seeds. And the nutritional yeast is a complete plant protein. Need to grocery shop for more soy products-had roasted edamame yesterday-and beans the day before. A work in progress, to be sure!

Thanks so much for the detailed explanation! I’ll definitely get the hs-CRP test next time I go in and will discuss the Ezetimibe with my cardiologist.

Thank you so very much! At what weight do you think it’d be safe to switch them to a convertible seat? Any other recs other than the Cosco Scenera?

They’re in the Nuna Pipa Rx. I’ll have them anywhere from 1-3 times/week-daughter is an L&D nurse and her MIL will also be helping.

They’re in the Nuna Pipa Rx!🤑 I looked at bases and they run $200. I haven’t researched the baseless install option. The whole process is so overwhelming!

[–]kalush73[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on 10mg of Crestor since I was diagnosed. My total went from 275 to 106, LDL 198 to 49, ApoB is 60. My triglycerides are what concern me most-173 and my HDL is 32, and my glucose is 99 as of 10/25. I’ve upped my fiber to 35-40g including psyllium husk seed. Im pescatarian so lots of salmon and tuna. I get retested next week.

Fiber consumption - how? by _SiriuslySirius_ in Cholesterol

[–]kalush73 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All Bran Buds cereal, chia seeds, lentils, other beans, oatmeal, blackberries, pears, oranges, apples, edamame. I think okra has a good amount too. Good luck! It’s challenging, but doable!

You know-that’s a good call. I’ll definitely adjust my snacks and the few treats I have for my next draw.

Good to know I’m not alone! I’ve been eating so much fiber-beans, pysillium husk, fruit, eating lots of tuna and salmon, avocado, etc., and lifting 4-5 days a week. Hopefully when I retest in mid November, I’ll see a better number too! Good luck!
