@gbcapecod, I extend my virtual hand shake to welcome you to Connect. You have made me laugh as I tried to imagine eating that many oranges! What was your reaction? I think I would have been too stunned to reply!

Congratulations on your 1st year with you new heart! I am a liver and kidney recipient (2009) and I believe that the habits that we develop early during our recovery set the path for our future habits. You have every right to be overly cautious. Is it becoming easier, to live within the boundaries of your new normal?

I would like to share some healthful post-transplant links with you. Click on the link, and you are connected to the Mayo Connect Pages where you will find articles from tha transplant staff.

@gbcapecod, How difficult was it for you to make these healthy food preparation changes?

Hi @ Rosemary's,
Sorry it's been awhile that I have been on here just wanted to check in have been trying to keep up on connect with all the posts and this one caught my eye on the starfruit also as I was never told that starfruit was off limits either with being a heart transplant patient but they never told me that pumelos were off limits either and pulmelos are an Asian grapefruit with the same enzymes as regular grapefruit and Seville oranges so I avoid the pulmelos and starfruit even though I Love them hope you are doing good my heart is still strong and doing beautiful it's hard to believe that I will be 9 years post transplant in three months time in January. I am doing much better since my accident last year I now walk with one cane only but working on getting away from using that all my other injuries have healed completely but am now dealing with arthritis in both my legs and knees do to my injuries have also been dealing with a couple of infections that don't want to go away so I just got back on Friday from mayo in Rochester and waiting for some results to come back to decide what antibiotic to go on and whether it will be oral or IV so it's been kind of a rough year for me hope you had a good summer I'm so not ready for winter as we haven't really had summer here and definitely no fall but we have had snow flurries yesterday as I said I just wanted to check in and let you know how I am doing hope you have a good weekend.
Thanks @glinda
