massive stroke , aortic valve , type 2 diabetes
Posted: 05-15-08 16:01pm

Is there anyone that deals with their spouse whose has had a massive stroke? paralyzed on right side, brain damage, then 17 days later had heart surgery and put in aortic valve, high blood pressure and high cholersterol and ~ 150 overweight. Now we just found out that he is diabetic 2. I'm out of breath scared I have been cooking for his heart but the man is so stubborn and he LOVED food and now with his stroke his emotions, short term memory, ability to exercise (due to being paralyzed on the right side) is difficult in the wheelchair so losing weight is tough. He just has a terrible time understanding the reasoning for this black & white lifestyle change. And I am running out of recipes and brain tired surfing and then trying to gather info from the heart to the stroke to the diabetes to get appealing recipes. Can anyone help me with this?

Can you consult some abdominal surgeon about performing gastric bypass surgery?
