Based on my grandfather having had a heart bypass surgery for 10 years now and being healthier than a 10 year old boy:
Drink lots and lots of water: it is very important to maintain your body balance;
Grilled fish and grilled meat: make yourself eat fish and meat in a proportion of 80%fish-20%meat, always grilled or boiled or (but fewer times) roasted; eat with rice, spaghetti or boiled/roasted potatoes, no fried potatoes! Fruit and abuse on the vegetables!!
Do not gain weight: if you eat a complete dish at lunch, your dinner should be a light soup (vegetables, not shellfish soup or anything very heavy), a small cheese (those white small cheeses that have a pudding texture, don't know how to say that in English, sorry :/ ) and fruit.
Of course you can eat desserts, but not everyday --> avoid desserts with too much calories (for example, cakes with cream are something to erase from your list as cream is very high in calories and it is basically sweet fat!)
Eat as much fruit and boiled vegetables as you can!
You should avoid eggs, other cheeses apart from that one I told, drink light milk, eat cookies with fibber.... everything with fat that may contribute for high cholesterol (it blocks your arteries even more!)
The basic thing you have to be certain is that as healthier you get, the strong and "happier" your heart will become.
EVERYDAY take a walk, do not rush it... take a walk for about 1hr/per day and enjoy the views!
Avoid stress in your daily life and DO NOT SMOKE.
Be happy and Good luck!!:)

Your Dad shouldn't be allowed to order those foods right now, the Doctor should have ordered a restricted diet, ask the nurse in charge or call the Doctor to remind him about that. Ask his Doctor or the nutritionist about a heart-healthy diet plan, they should have pamphlets to give you with menus to choose from. It helps in shopping for the right foods. Help them pick the right foods as much as you can and maybe you and you sister could each bring a healthy meal over once a week to make sure they are getting SOME healthy foods. All else fails pick up some pamphlets from the funeral home/cemetery and ask what he likes. Sounds heartless but if he won't listen to reason be a little irrational =) You're a good daughter and I wish your Father a speedy recovery.

do not AVOID fats. All fats aren't bad and some even clean out your arteries. Here's the scoop.
Saturated fat- ok to eat, but don't gorge out on it.
Polyunsaturated fat - good for you- but again limit it.
Monounsaturated fat- great for you -but limit it.
The reason I say limit it, is because fat is still fat and it will put on the pounds. Monounsats and polyunsats are good. They help clean out the arteries.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Trans-fats. These are man-made fats.
You MUST read the ingredient list as the labels lie to you and say there are none when there really is some.
If it says "partially hydrogenated". Dump it immediately. These clog the arteries and over time, the build-up will lead to a blockage.
Most everything in your house probably has this in it. An easy way to avoid trans-fats is:
If it grows naturally, eat it. If not, avoid it. Pop-tarts(my favorite dessert) doesn't grow naturally. I eat very little trans-fats, but when i do, i also fight it with some good fats.
many companies in many fields don't mention the real killer which is trans fats.
The other three fats I mentioned above, aren't the killers. Even though they're good for you, they'll still make you fat.
I may have alot of fat in my midsection, but I know it's because I eat alot of good fats.
Many companies have started to make "healthy junk food" such as doritoes, lays, cheetos, etc. Doritoes have a "natural dorito". that has no trans fats. Some of lays chips have no trans-fats and cheetos has a brand that has no trans fats as well.
If you like pasta, "healthy harvest" has a "traditional" flavor pasta sauce I eat alot on "whole wheat" pasta. It costs a bit more but it's high in good fats as well. So are peanuts and their families.
Avoiding trans-fats my increase your grocery bill as eating real food is more expensive, but there are low cost ways to do it. The whole wheat pasta, tuna, peanuts, chips (healthy ones), etc.

Diabetes is usually treated through a combination of diet (low sugar), exercise and medications/insulin. Milder cases can be controlled with just diet an/or exercise while more severe cases require meds or insulin as well.

the main thing is to avoid saturated fats. it is good to eat plenty of steamed veg, brown rice and a little lean meat (e.g. skinless chicken breast fat trimmed off),fish or small amount of tofu,quorn or soya. limit the amount of sugar in diet. include some gentle exercise.
