@kenzie Welcome to the club! I was in End Stage 5 from the first week that I was diagnosed and lasted for 10 years without ever going on dialysis before I finally had to opt for a transplant 2 years ago. One thing that I found helpful was learning portion control. Don't make life any more miserable than it is already. You like bananas, mangos and peaches? Then allow yourself a tiny bit without going overboard. There is nothing poisonous about those fruits, they just are very loaded with stuff that your kidneys have trouble handling. Instead of eating that banana, just eat half of it, or maybe only a couple of slices on your oatmeal. I try to eat very slowly and mindfully so that I am really savoring and enjoying that banan slice. Work with your doctor and consult with a renal dietician about what would be appropriat for you. Stage 3B is still a long way from stage 5. You may be able to find a way to still enjoy eating the fruits that you like.
