My grandmother, mother, and aunt went through dialysis. When my time arrives, I won't be doing it, even though I know the outcome. My nephrologist and renal nutritionist highly recommend a vegetarian diet. I am trying! I have eliminated red meat, but still having difficulty with the processed foods. I believe diet and exercise can help immensely. Good for you!!♥️

@susangail53 My decision will be the same when/if the time comes. So far I am remaining stable at 3B and am careful to maintain a healthy diet considering my other conditions. I will be 85 in June so I think I have a fair chance to avoid the decision.

I truly admire your strength and determination. It must have been incredibly difficult seeing your grandmother, mother, and aunt go through dialysis, and I completely understand your decision.
A vegetarian diet has been highly recommended for my father as well, and we’ve been strictly following it—eliminating red meat completely and sticking to boiled vegetables with minimal oil. Processed foods can definitely be a challenge to cut out, but every step in the right direction makes a difference.
I absolutely agree that diet and exercise play a huge role in maintaining kidney health. Wishing you all the best on your journey, and thank you for your kind words and encouragement! ♥️
