Welcome to health care magic, I share your concern and I will try to help you out in best possible way.
The ideal diet for patients with cardiomyopathy, is that of a diabetic patient (that aims to obtain the energy from digestion of polysaccharides mainly, i.e. from bread, potatoes, beans, etc), combined with a so-called coronary diet. In a coronary diet, use of the wrong cholesterol (LDL) and of saturated fatty acids, like in animal fat, is avoided in favour of the use of multiply unsaturated fatty acids and the good cholesterol (HDL), like in vegetable oils and fatty fish.
Reducing overweight is a must.
Prepare energy poor, but good tasting, meals.
Do not add sugar, use artificial sweeteners.
Do not add fat when preparing meals.
Do not consume heavy meals, certainly not before going to sleep.
Use unsaturated fats instead of saturated e.g.:
- use diet margarine,
- use oil for frying,
- use a small amount of fatty fish daily (e.g. smoked mackerel, as a morsel between meals or on bread; contains very much HDL), but no eel, nor shrimps.
Keep a fibrous diet:
- Intake of fibrous food (barn of wheat) may buffer absorption of water and salt and therefore improve the water/salt balance.
- one spoon of XXXXXXX of wheat with each meal,
- uncooked vegetables with each meal,
- much fruit, but no fruit juices with added sugar.
Use vitamin supplements (heart weakness may decrease absorption, uptake of sufficient vitamin B is essential):
- Take as a supplement to your meals the daily required amount of multivitamins and trace elements, with dinner, in addition, the daily required doses of the vitamin B complex.
Keep control of your sodium/potassium balance and water balance:
- limit the intake of sodium chloride (it is better to prepare your meals without salt and to add table salt while the food is on your dish),
- daily consumption of potassium containing fruit or vegetables e.g. banana, tomato and potato. When feeling weak, consume some extra tomato juice or fruit juice.
(Patients who use certain "Calcium channel blockers" (e.g. Verapamil) are advised NOT to consume grapefruit or ingest grapefruit juice. Grapefruit contains certain compounds that lead to an increased bioavailability of these drugs, which can be life threatening.)
Unless your cardiologist prescribes limitation of fluid intake: drink ample amounts of water (rather than lemonade, etc), but reduce water intake in the evening.
Non-fat milk products with each meal (sufficient magnesium and calcium intake).
No alcohol, or at maximum 1 glass of alcohol on a day. (Good reasons exist for absolute abstinence of alcohol. Ask your cardiologist whether this holds true for you too!)
No alcohol when it causes a bad sleep, or irregular and/or throbbing heartbeats.
If you nevertheless use alcohol: drink one (and never more than one) glass of wine preferably with your diner.
When no other objections: normal use of coffee. It may help when feeling weak.
Do not smoke.
I hope this helps you
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.

Welcome back.
Well in that case it is important to reduce fluid intake to 3/4th of usual consumption and restrict intake of salt. Thus reducing the load on heart. However, due to cardiomyisitis the heart tissue will take some time to recover and it's further management can be done only by hospitalization.
