A few here know I went through open heart surgery a few weeks back, had 5 by-passes performed
I went to the doctor about 2 months ago for a lump feeling in my throat and decided I better ask while I was there about a slight pain in my left shoulder and shortness of breath after climbing stairs. Turns out the best thing I could have done was ask about the pain and shortness of breath, turns out the lower part of my heart was pumping nothing I had two that were 100% blocked and a 90% blockage.
It's been 3 weeks and a few days since the surgery and I'm doing very well, I even feel like cooking again which before I really didn't want to do anything at all (very scary for me not to want to cook)
I had some issues with pain in my feet and that even has dropped a bit so I'm very happy with the surgery. BUT now I'm off the KETO diet and now on a LOW SODIUM DIET which is a challenge but do able. I'm trying to stay around the 1500 MG per day which is what the Heart Association is recommending for a LOW SODIUM diet and the doctor also recommends for now.
I have been able to stay under the 1500 mg per day but boy it's a bit harder than the LOW CARB keto I was doing.
I will post pictures and recipes in case there anyone who wants to do LOW SODIUM
