In hospital recovering from stroke. Left side paralyzed. In rehab program. very optimistic. one hand typing. wondering about diet. anyone with experience with stroke got any suggestions? boiled seafood? or must i forgo all the good stuff? any help is appreciated

Can't help with the diet but prayers are sent. Good luck with the recovery!

Holy crap! Glad u made it! Keepin u in my prayers

hope you get better soon man, got you in my prayers. stroke and heart diseases run in my family and THEY ARE HEREDITARY. whether that hypertension, stroke, etc. not too sure on diet, but i know for a fact....keep your fats ,salts,and cholesterol low.

Wow. Sorry to hear about the stroke. Will keep you in thoughts and prayers

Sorry to hear that you had to go through this, I hope you have a speedy recovery.

No help on the diet, sorry.

Praying for a quick recovery for you

Since your in the hospital, ask to speak to a dietician, I had to lose some weight before my heart surgery a few years back & they put me on a crash diet, not the foods I am use to, but the diet worked. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Ill keep you in my prayers man, wishing you a fast track to recovery!

Prayers sent for a fast recovery.

not sure what the doctor ordered for you, but i would start walking, just to get the blood pumping regularly again. It's surprising how fast recovery can be expedited just be walking. REMEMBER WALKING 50 minutes and running 20 minutes are about the same...aommost

avoid sodium at all costs. avoid trans fats and saturated fats. avoid foods high in calories and cholesterol. worked in heart surgery as a nurse for many years. seen this quite a few times as a results of plaque build up in the carotid arteries.... you MUST follow the Dr's orders... NO EXCEPTIONS.

I hope for a speedy recovery for you

TB

yup, and go bat shat crazy on whole grains, wheat products, and complex carbs...this will help lower your cholesterol...plus its healthy for ya

CF, my dad had a stroke Sept of 2010 and almost died in Dec. Make sure you take the rehab seriously and push yourself to the limit. Medicine has come a long way, don't let the word stroke hold you back. Dad just turned 74 last week and is back at it good as new.

Get well soon man. If there is anything you need, let us know. Im sure with this good group of guys, we can help you with something if needed.

I hope for a speedy recovery for you and will keep youin my prayers and nothing really on the diet.

Prayers for a speedy recovery.
