Other than low sodium is there a diet that I should be on after valve replacement. I realize that a low cholesterol diet should be followed but is that it?
Special diet?

Avoid, fat, salt, carbohydrates, proteins, sweets, green vegetables, starches, and anything with any taste, texture or other enjoyable properties. 
That leaves you with styrofoam and water.
Seriously, unless there is a restriction because of other ongoing non-valve problems, try to get back to a normal healthy diet. (You know, avoid a half pound of salty bacon, 3 eggs and 2 slices of pie everyday for breakfast.)

Anything that causes cancer - which means everything. Sodium and cholesterol are the only things I watch.

When I was discharged, they told me I should be on a "no extra salt added" diet. They said I could eat anything I wanted but not to use the salt shaker. I think that is being very generous considering how much sodium there already is in nearly every processed food.
I've been lucky in that I have not retained fluid after either of my valve surgeries. However, I have a natural dislike for salt and never add it to anything.

You can go have a splinter removed and this will be your discharge diet. It's just a standard. Chow on anything you feel like chowing on.
