My husband is going for mitral valve surgery nest week. He's in the  
hospital right now to restore his heart rhythm. They originally put him on  a low 
fat diet. It was horrendous. Lots of chemicals, sugar,bread, etc. We spoke  
to his cardiologist about it. She told us we could bring in our own food  
and wants him on a high fat high protein (low carb) diet to build him  up for 
the surgery. Amazing! 
 
 
There is a refrig/freezer in the pantry of the hospital that is usable by  
patients.
