Not sure if this was mentioned... but after a heart attack there are options for help. Many insurance programs team with hospitals to provide assistance.... 1. exercise programs 2. a nutritionist and or dietician 3. group meetings
A family member got this kind of help and is doing well.
Glad you are doing fine.

Seriously, Katey, please read Dr. Esselstyn's book Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease. He was a cardiac surgeon at Cleveland Clinic and got tired of opening up people's chests and doing surgery that he believed could be prevented. He documents the success of this lifestyle change, including images of arteries that were cleared.As he says, changing your diet is not radical, cutting into your body is radical.
If you choose to implement this program, it is important that you eliminate all added fats, so no more olive oil, etc. plus all meat, fish, poultry, dairy. It is not easy, I admit that I have strayed by eating some added fats, but I have never been diagnosed with heart disease. My goal is to never be diagnosed with heart disease.

OP - are you not in a cardiac rehab program ? If you aren't then you should ask your cardiologist. They do exercise and they do classes to teach you about things like diet.

I am really sorry that several of the posters including the OP had heart attacks but so glad they survived and have had wake-up calls! I was interested in reading their symptoms, as well, since heart disease runs in my paternal family. It never hurts to be reminded of heart attack symptoms. I am 51, run three days a week, and watch what I eat. No cholesterol, blood pressure, or weight problems, but I have to work at it, and it is not fun, since I love to cook and eat. That being said, I like what a poster wrote about cutting into a body being extreme...not developing good eating habits. Cookbooks that I have enjoyed using that are low in calories and fat are the Eat What You Love cookbooks. There are three of them now, and many of the recipes have become staples in my menu planning...they are that good!
