The wonders of fish oil

[olhillbilly]

Er sumpthin like that.

Bout two weeks ago I hadda checkup. They done all the normal bloodwork, etc. came back an said I had high cholestrol. Lil surprise to me. I had that back when the bloodmobile wud still come thru here.

anyhow, the nurse playin doctor, told me I orta be takin some pills. (seems they always got a pill for ya) So anyhow I said I wud try em for three months an see what happend.

She said I orta get some Omega 3 fish oil pills too. I said I eat lotsa fish, wont that be the same? She said no, cuz the pills wernt deep fried in oil.

So now, I got these itty bitty pills an these great big horse sized pills ta take. I cant tell anything different.

I figger the next thing they gonna be tellin me , I gotta fry my fish in peanut oil or some such. Thats bout like buying premium unleaded, only higher. Looks like the days of veg oil or lard is bout gone.

poor ole HB maybe you should try baking or broiling your fish and only have fried fish 2 times a month....

HB I heard the same story. Took their pills and ate the same type of food. Went back and was told that for some reason the level didn't drop hardly at all. Then was told to eat only baked fish ,broiled fish. no pork,no red meat etc...Told them that I was as old as I am and did not need anyone to tell me what I could or could not eat.

Well I got the chlorestral thing going on too, got as high as 437, now I take half a pill at bedtime and eat oatmeal every morning, do more walking and exercise and it has came down quite a bit now. I use to use a lot of oil to cook with, now I still use veggie oil but just a tiny bit and I guess it helps. Course they told me I have diabetes too so can't eat near as much as use to so that is probably helping too, gonna blow away in the wind now though have lost 40 lbs that I didn't need to lose, look like a skeleton now. Oh well the only part I give a crap about is not losing my feet, don't know anybody that's gonna carry my skinny hiney to the river to fish.
