@lcamino I am not on steroids except for a tiny dose of prednisone but my immunosuppressants were changed last week and I am now taking one that had been discontinued. I have gained @ a pound a day since the change. I did not notice this when I was first on this medication (tacrolimus) after my transplant but then I was still so filled with fluid that I probably just did not notice, and as the fluid went down my weight probably was going up. I have been eating very healthy, keeping my calories down, and getting plenty of exercise. Has anyone else experienced weight gain from tacrolimus? I am really upset about this but hoping that as my body adjusts this trend will stop.

@panc2011 - That is totally fine! I did not expect you to be able to do JC. I I I know someone with IBS that could not do it either. I merely shared hoping to encourage you that weight loss is possible even if you are not able to exercise. As I said earlier, you need to find what works for you and stick with it. Everyone is different - different health issues, cooking abilities, strengths, weaknesses, budgets etc. etc.
As for the webinar, I multitasked. I listened to the information and worked on my computer because some information was not new to me. It is lengthy so maybe just watch it in 3 20 min. segments.
@lcamino Basically 1100 is if I am a slug, which some days I am. 😉 This shrinking has got to stop.

@elcameno Thank you for your response. I need to force myself to watch that webnair. I really do not like them. I much prefer reading a summary with bullet points. At this point in my life I have been through so many nutritional visits, seminars and speeches that I become impatient when forced to listen to the same information being presented as if it is a totally new concept. I also do not jump on the latest fad diets. I have so many limitations on my food list that I really do not want to try any food program. All of them that I have checked use leafy greens, dairy, chocolate, peanuts, almonds, sugar, cashews or potatoes; all of which I need to avoid. I am glad Jenny Craig is working for you and your husband but not something I feel comfortable pursuing.
