Smoking ended for my that Sunday night.
Also I had to go to a no salt low fat diet. As I heal I must excersize 3 times a week. These will be life long changes for me. I don't have a choice anymore.

Well, I hope it works our for you. If you don't mind me asking, what age range do you fall in and what weight range?
I have been considering getting a heart scan and I am in my early thirties, I am self employed, so I would have to pay this out of my pocket. Wondering if I should wait until I scare up some decent insurance.

I also would have terribly missed you my friend. We both have lots of FR posts to post still! :-)

It's great to see that you're doing well (relatively speaking, of course), Mr. Magoo.
I hope this makes you feel better -- Those "lifestyle changes" you've mentioned will probably be much easier for you because you will be doing them all at one time. It's hard to quit smoking, it's hard to exercise, and it's hard to change your diet. But if you do them all at the same time (and I would add that getting a good night's sleep every night will help, too) it will require such a dramatic overall change in you that you're less likely to notice any one of them.
Good luck, and keep us informed of your recovery!

Hey, a Christian nutrionist,
Pam Smith, has a nice book out titled "Eat Well, Live Well" which you may enjoy. She doesn't advocate fad or crash diets but smart eating. She also has an online forum. You might enoy her material. God bless, and glad to see you again.

So happy to learn that you have come through the heart surgery and are making progress in your recovery.
Your message is an important one that could benefit many Freepers. I know that I will be asking my doctor about a heart scan.
I hope will continue to listen to your doctor & stick to those life style changes you describe.
We need you posting on FR for many many years!
Here are some special Freeper angels (from my profile page). Keeping you in my prayers.......Julie

How on earth did I miss the prayer thread Mr Magoo? I didn't even know this had happened to you. Really, really glad you made it through.
If it's not too late, I'll add a few prayers for a speedy recovery.

Glad you quit smoking, and glad you're back with us.
I don't post on the smoking threads, 'cause I think you should do what you want and the government should leave you alone, but man, it's soooooooooo bad for you!
Best of luck and God bless.

I am going to go get my exercise bike out, dust it off, and use it three times a week. Thanks to you, Mr. Magoo.
