@jeanice, Be a patient patient! You are moving in a good direction. And our bodies do take time to adjust to shanges. I understand your being nervous in anticipation of your kidney doctor. I have found a video - "Effectively managing chronic kidney disease" that I want to share with you. I hope that it gives you some more information about kidneys in preparation for your visit.

I do not have any 1st hand diet information to share with you since my kidneys failed suddenly and I followed special eating plan. I am happy to follow this conversation as @kamama94 is so generously sharing her recipies.
I am going to be thinking of you and hoping for an informative and productive visit.
