Surgery Update

So they called today and geve me some rotten news! My Triglycerides and Cholesterol is really high. SO I have another appointment tomorrow with my primary care, hah they have seen me almost as much as my husband has this week. So once I get on something to lower them they will schedule me. She said I am at really high risk right now of having a heart attack or stroke, NICE!! As if I wasnt stressed enough! I am so upset right now. I want them to retest me because the levels she was saying is grossly high. So now I have ANOTHER med to add to the list of meds I am currently on.

My med list is:
Atenolol---Blood Pressure
Lisinopril---Blood Pressure and Kidneys
Metphormin---Diabetes
Hydrochlorithiazide---Blood Pressure water pill
Aciphex---Acid Reflux
Prozac----Depression
Naproxen----Knee Pain and Endometriosis
Vicodin----Occasionally at night for knee pain
Zovia----Birth Control
Vitamin B----Stress (physician ordered)
Calcium Supplement
Multivitamin

Anyway I have decided to go on a strict vegetarian diet, no meat product, since animal products are what carry the cholesterol. I need to get this down FAST!!! I was told its best to cut the meat out a couple weeks before surgery anyway to help with not being so sick when you do the two day cleanse.
