What helps with diarrhea & nausea after kidney transplant?

@sarahdemare04 I had my liver transplant 9 weeks ago and the first month was extremely tough for me but trust me when I say it gets better day by day. It's overwhelming sometimes but I'm getting used to it. I'm walking a mile with my dog each morning now when it's not too hot in Tucson AZ. Staying hydrated is really important especially if your father is having diarrhea. One of the doctors told me to make drinking water my second job. I got a smart watch after surgery so I can monitor my health and I keep logs of my vitals and it keeps me busy and motivated. I have a partially closed artery in or around my liver so I'm on eliquist until my 4 month check up and an MRI. Prayer has kept me going ever since I got sick a year ago July 19 and that's giving me the strength, calmness and guidance I need. You guy's are already in my prayers.

@ernestbrandt1980 I have some experience as I received a deceased kidney transplant 4 years ago when I was 76 years old. Everything has gone reasonably well. After the first year of suppressing my immune system, I did get a malignant melanoma which required surgery. It was still very early in situ and had not spread and the surgery was deemed to have gotten it all out. I now get a full body dermatologist exam every 3 months Which is sometimes including a biopsy but so far no more melanoma. I exercise a lot including running, walking, Karate punches and kicks, aerobic jumping jacks and deep squats. I was watching my diet very closely for 10 years before the transplant since I was in ead stage for all 10 years but managed to stay off dialysis. Do you have any specific questions that you would like to ask?
