How post-operation are we talking? If it's not long after,
you'll want a lot of protein so your body can repair itself.
After a serious trauma, protein is the most important
macronutrient, and a bypass is a most serious trauma,
indeed. Mine was.

Bob, my SO is having triple bypass surgery later next week.
Not personally knowing anyone who has undergone such
surgery, can you give us any progression of recovery stages
that he might expect? He is 55.

Thanks, Wayne

Check out the many American Heart Association cookbooks. You
can literally 'check them out' from your local library. They
have some wonderful recipes.

I can tell you, a friend of my had this done in January and
it took a couple of months to recover completely. If your SO
sticks to what the doctors recommend he'll be fine and
dandy. He's now out and about doing all the things he used
to do. Just make sure your SO continues to take whatever
meds are required and not over-do. The doc can tell your SO
what is okay and what isn't.

Thanks for the protein recommendation. We are looking at two
weeks post-op this coming Tuesday. I have been doing low
fat, no sodium, high fiber and now will raise the protein. I
know about AHA cookbooks, thanks, and have the latest from
the local library. Was hoping for some recipes someone had
personally tested - reading back over my request I see I
wasn't too clear about what I was searching for. Thanks, for
the responses. JM

I can tell you one AHA recipe that I love, but not knowing
where you live I'm not sure how readily you can find catfish
fillets 🙂 You can use any mild white fish for this.

6 catfish fillets (about 6 oz. each)
3/4 c. nonfat buttermilk
4/4 tsp. salt
5/4 tsp. red pepper sauce (I used more than this of Tabasco)
3 oz. fat free low-salt whole wheat crackers, crushed 1
Tbs. lowfat margarine, melted Vegetable cooking oil spray
2 Tbs. shipped fresh parsley lemon wedges

Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly spray a 13X9" baking dish with
cooking spray. Rinse the fish and pat dry.

Combine buttermilk, salt and hot pepper sauce in a
small, shallow dish [like a pie pan]. Put cracker crumbs
on a plate.

Dip the fillets in the buttermilk mixture, then in crumbs,
coating evenly. Put fillets in baking dish. Drizzle with
margarine and lightly spray with vegetable oil spray.

Bake, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes
easily when testing with a fork. To serve, sprinkle fish
with parsley and garnish with lemon wedges.

When my late- ex-husband had his first surgery (6 grafts) at
34 (!!!) I developed what came to be known as "Stir-Fry
Ubiquitous".

It was the only way to fill up his lean, mean 6' 2" frame
with only 4 ounces of meat a day. Meat was lean whatever and
varied vegetables - crunchy and colorful with as much
steamed rice as he could hold. He had a second surgery (3
more grafts) at 41 and was dead before 50 . .
. ate well but wouldn't quit smoking.

His recovery from the first surgery was rapid. The second
one was tough due to a nasty infection at one of the veinous
graft sites. We were divorced several months before the
second surgery.

Wishes and prayers for your success. Lynn from Fargo
PS: Buy him a puppy - it'll make him walk.

Thanks, Jill. All good points! We have a final consultation
with the surgeon on Tuesday, so I'm sure that much of this
will be covered.
