Thank you...all good information. Clearly it's not a cure all, but a good jump start for some. Good luck with the walking, I should do that Myself.

I still cannot eat certain foods, but that is ok. Can't do sodas anymore because of the carbonation (however, when I was drinking post surgery, I sure as hell had no problem with beers! Don't know how THAT worked!)
The woman I room with just had a major heart attack last week, and is home now. I think that doing a heart healthy diet would be a good thing for BOTH of us! that and exercize. I need to make myself step away from the computer and walk a couple of times a day. (I am self employed here at home, and spend hours and hours in front of my computer)
