@lsheerin, sounds like most things post transplant are really good for your husband (and you!). But...there are still a couple of things.
Regarding the belly bulge, I wonder if these 2 discussions might be helpful for you:
- Incisional hernia after transplant: Anyone else?

- Liver Transplant - abdominal hernia and exercise

And then the 2 "Fs" Fatigue and food. It seems counterintuitive, but getting in some movement might help the fatigue. Is there any activity that he enjoys? If it's fun, it's more likely he'll do it, right?
And then the food. Junk food is just so much easier to reach for when scouring the cupboards. Might he reach for ready-to-eat healthier options if they're on hand, like cut up veggies and dip or fruit? Unsalted nuts? I'm just tossing out some thoughts.
