So my heart surgery if finally scheduled and is soon, but ended up having to go with a different doctor as my other surgeon injured his back and was unable to continue.
He was the one who recommended the diet. I have been mostly keeping up with it, though have broken down a few times, and eaten at Brent's, and had lovely steak and noodles and artichokes for my anniversary dinner last night.
Still have to lose weight, but looking forward to being able to have more stamina so I can exercise more, which will help with the weight loss.
Now I am still eating salads every day for lunch and either egg white omelet or low sugar, low fat yogurt (or near yogurt), no bread, and trying to do only 2 pieces of fruit a day (though sometimes I have a smoothie and go over). And have been eating egg whites for snacks, though probably too many nuts. And my chiropractor told me I should eat some whole eggs and not just egg whites, as the benefits outways the bad with eggs, though I am still eating mostly egg whites, though I am so sick of the omlets it is nuts. I really only like poached eggs, but they also need bread!
Hopefully I will have a better time losing weight after my recovery.
