I am having aortic heart valve replacement surgery in two weeks and will have to be on Coumadin for the rest of my life. That means another diet change for me. Any ideas for recipes that are gastric bypass friendly and coumadin (warfarin) friendly together would be appreciated!!

Thanks,

Never give up - keep trying until something happens!!!

 When on blood thinners, if I remember correctly you just have to limit some of your green veggies.  I don't think there will be a huge difference in your diet.  

Check this link to what you need to limit.

I just don't believe you will have to limit that much and I was taught that you really don't have to avoid anything just be consistant in what you eat.  Vitamin K as it says in the article referenced above can lessen the effectiviness of it, so you will want to check your Calcium and make sure it doesn't have too much K in it.
