Anyone having issues with gaining weight after liver transplant?
Good evening,
I hope everyone is doing well.
My liver transplant was in January 2023 and I have been doing well. The only issue I am having now is, with gaining weight. In 2023 I was loosing weight and could not add any pounds but in 2024 it’s opposite. Anyone having similar problems?
Thank you so much for being here and helping me to stay healthy.
Happy Holidays!!!

Good morning from Canada 🇨🇦
My issue isn't about weight gain anymore it's about an inability to lose weight. It's very depressing 😞

1 Reaction@chuckhorse absolutely i lost 60 lbs and I was at 123 from 185 and it took awhile to gain back weight. I drank very high calorie protein drinks 480 calories ea plus it had the vitamins I needed. After almost 3 years food is tasting better plus everything i liked before wasn’t on my new doctor recommended diet,stay away from all fast foods and restaurants, no sushi or undercooked meat all well done, im back to 185 and staying healthy my surgical scar prevents me from getting fat or it’s very painful, I don’t get hunger pains so i just graze during the day and a very small dinner good luck with your health and recovery it’s gonna be at least a year
