What kind of diet should I be on?

Most patients after heart, thoracic or vascular surgery should be on a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet. Your primary care physician can help you with one of these diets, but generally speaking, a “heart healthy” diet is a good one to be on. Occasionally, you can “cheat”, but usually a change in your lifestyle eating habits is warranted after heart, thoracic or vascular surgery.
