One of the many things I love about life is… Food.<\/p>\n
In fact, right now I’m waiting for my new bride, Robyn, to get home from work so we can go out for dinner and officially start the weekend. But, as of this moment… SHE’S LATE AND I’M STARVING!!!<\/p>\n
I guess that brings up a pretty interesting topic… Foods For People That Had Open Heart Surgery!!!<\/p>\n
My gut tells me you might want to know if your food consumption will change following cardiac surgery including open heart valve repair or open heart valve replacement.<\/p>\n
“Am I right?” (If no, skip this blog.)<\/p>\n
Oh, good. You’re still reading. That must mean you’re somewhat interested to know whether or not there are any special foods for patients that had open heart surgery.<\/p>\n
So you know, I had aortic valve replacement<\/a> in 2005. One of the reasons I chose this surgical option (known as the Ross Procedure<\/a>) was because I did not want to take any medication (Coumadin) after my heart valve surgery to prevent clotting on a mechanical valve<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In light of that my surgical procedure, I do not have any food restrictions that may arise from the simultaneous intake of medicine (again Warfarin \/ Coumadin<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n That brings up the next question, “Do patients on Coumadin need to avoid certain foods that might negatively react with Coumadin?”<\/p>\n![\"Adam](\"https:\/\/www.heart-valve-surgery.com\/Images\/food-heart-surgery-coumadin.jpg\" "\\"Adam")
