My husband had his liver transplant 17 days ago. He is doing fantastic and he attributes it to the fact that he was able to go out and jog / walk a couple times a week while waiting. He also ate healthy. It has made a world of difference for him!
Blessings,
JoDee

@jodeej That's great! I hope he is feeling well and doing great after his transplant. If you told us this somewhere right after his transplant I somehow missed it, it's been a busy summer here. I am really excited for him and for you. It's such a wondrous time to finally have that horrible issue behind you, to have a clear head all of the time, to not be retaining horrible amounts of fluid, and for me to not have my hands shaking all of the time.
I agree, that the exercise he did pre-transplant really helped him through the recovery period, and eating healthy. I did so much right up until the last month when things went downhill. I am sure that was a huge help.

Now that he has had successful transplant, I want to share a discussion where members have shared their ideas for living with their new organ. "Living Life After your Transplant,” https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/living-life-after-your-transplant/?pg=1
Or you can read it in a newsfeed post titled "Top Transplant Hacks: Patients Share Their Best Tips and Tricks" on the Transplant Page.

@jodeej, I think that you deserve credit for your effort to prepare healthy meals! It is so much easier when spouse or partner collaborate on eating right. And the bonus is that both of you receive the benefits of better health.
