Thanks for great info. I’m a very small woman, so I can only imagine what statins would do to me. Been taking for about 7 weeks.
Are you taking something instead? Eating something instead? Like Oatmeal?
If you ever want to increase your oat intake you can add raw oats to tunafish or chicken salad. You won’t know it’s even in there. It’s a good way to stretch your canned chicken/tuna. School cafeterias used to add add oats all the time.
Just a normal diet - oatmeal and a banana for breakfast about twice a week, then it’s a tossup between a protein bar and and a protein shake or a Jimmy Dean English muffin with sausage/egg/cheese. I can’t advise you what to do - but if you made 89 and are still a little bit active, I have trouble seeing you worrying about your diet or cholesterol unless something’s getting so clogged up a stent would be advised if you were younger and able to do the operation (and even then, I doubt statins could fix anything) ...if nothing’s that bad, if I reach 89, I’m not going to worry about anything...if my eyes open in the morning, it will be a great day.
