After you have recovered 6-8 weeks there is really nothing that you have to avoid besides full contact activities but even with these it should be safe after 6 months
You should avoid the followings after heart surgery:
Strenuous exercises
Lifting any weight heavier than 15 pounds for a month
Driving a car for a month
Eating high salt foods
Drinking excessive amount of liquids
Drinking alcohol for a month
Smoking
Eating high fat diet
If diabetic make sure that your blood sugar is well controlled otherwise you will have problems with wound healing
Good luck with your surgery.
