I have a thing for coconut. My wife almost never buys me anything like those, aparently it is not too good for cholesterol. I love Bounty and Nicky too. Total coconut overload... As a kid I would eat raw desicated coconut with icing sugar.
Although I must say, I barely had any sweets since the heart failure/attack. Having your mortality stuffed in your face this closely helps with health choices and I'm down about 5 pounds too with the aid of my smart scale weigh in every morning.

Stick with the diet changes. I had one about 5 years ago and I'm down 80 pounds since I had the heart attack. You're 100% right about how motivating almost dying can be. I had to give up sweets completely as I'm a sugar junkie and can't do just a little bit. It got easier over time to where I don't notice anymore unless my wife brings home ice cream. That, I can hear calling to me for days lol.

Ever try natural ice cream? No artificial sugars added… made with natural non sugar sweetener.

I have been told the heart failure will damage my kidneys over time... so I am on kidney medicine before it kicks off.
Luckily it is hot season soon so I can substitute water for coffee... already cut down to just two small sugars per cup.
I'm still regularly surprised by how weak I am now. It is a whole new kettle of fish. Lifting my arm enough to use a mouse adds two b.p.m. to my heart rate.

Sorry to hear about the kettle of fish. Wishing you good health. Thank you for all your crazy-funny gifs. They often make my day!

The lack of energy is the killer for me. I'm lucky I didn't do a ton of damage from mine, but there was some to the pumping side of my heart. My blood pressure gets wonky and I'm on a ton of meds for that. Ended up with an ambulance trip this summer because it was 220/150 and I thought I was having another heart attack. The VA doctor turned me over to a civilian and it's way better now with new meds. It just stinks taking so many pills. Glad you're feeling better, as others have said your posts have given me many a belly laugh over the last year or more.

And the bite in the left shoulder any time you get going on something is a pain. I remember last time it was also a while before I trusted my body enough to really use it. It is a bit like being pregnant. like it is something happening to your body but not you. Like my wife would ask "are you feeling OK?"
How the fuck should I know?
I'm probably going to have to find a way of getting stoned without smoking joints next.
