Several people suggested that. I do take b12 and drink 2 or 3 protein shakes daily. The dr wants to retest in 3 mths. If the cortisol is still up I will ask him what I can do.

We frequently have elevated liver enzymes after surgery - many of us have had fatty livers due to obesity, and then we filter a lot of stuff out as we lose weight. And there are lots of meds that affect liver enzymes. The suggestion is to take milk thistle (which is an herb) - 2 tablets a day. Then get retested. 45 is not like 150, so I'm thinking the milk thistle will be effective for you. Certainly worth a try. I'd do it before I'd say ok to a biopsy. Protein is OK, could be better. Are you doing protein drinks? It's hard for us to actually digest protein out of our food. B12 is ok. Are you supplementing with sublinguals? What was it the last time? For that matter, what was protein the last time? Cortisol is the stress hormone. Makes it harder to lose weight. I have the same problem <sigh>. Does your doc have any suggestions on the cortisol? <!--more--> Pam in Niceville A couple of things…
