Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Posted August 8, 2006 Hi all, My husband just got his rest results back from his first cholesterol check after bypass X5 in May. HDL 35 LDL 67 Tryg. 320!!!!! He is taking 20 MG zocor a day and they added Tricor to that. He never had high cholesterol before surgery or took medicine. So my question is what gets the triglycerides down? What is he eating that's messing him up now. We have cut out breads, sugars, etc. What helps HDL? Just looking for advice. From what I'm reading exercise helps raise HDL and triglycerides are not because of too much fat in your food but too much sugar. LDL is too much fat. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Just trying to sort this out so I'll know what to " do with him " !! Thanks to all Quote
