@gbcapecod I knew about grapefruit, pomegranates, and Seville oranges, but not starfruit. I have only had starfruit once in my life but I was recently thinking I wanted to try them again, so this is timely for me. I love the clementine thing too, but really, who eats even 7 of them in a day? I can maybe 3, but 7?

I used to eat sushi occasionally but it's not something I miss at all. I must admit, I do miss having a glass of wine with a nice dinner when we go out. I think it's just post-liver transplants where wine is prohibited though. My niece's husband just had a kidney transplant and he can drink wine after a few months. It's not a problem with the immunosuppressants, it's just that any alcohol is not good for your liver.

@contentandwell, Both my Home with my kidney and my Home with liver packets recommend to "Avoid alcohol". It also says that if you have any questions to discuss it with your transplant doctor.
At my annual checkup in April it was the kidney doctor who replied to my question, "How can I best keep my transplanted organs healthy as I enter my next 10 years. Without blinking an eye, he said to me, "Take your meds, get your routine labs, and no alcohol". There was no doubt what he was telling me!
