Hi @kimestes, welcome to the Transplants group. I'd like to connect you with other liver transplant patients like @stella25 @gaylea1 @cmael @contentandwell @jeanne5009 @jerrynord to mention a few.

Have you been able to able to gain some weight back?

Yes. Weigh 93 lbs now! My Dr. is concerned with my lack of muscle mass, so they have me on a high protein diet. I'm exercising as much as I can, which is not a lot. I was very sick for months and not able to walk for a while, So I guess it will take some time to regain my strength. I never was big on exercise, but took care of my mother and father for 8 years. Required a lot of lifting and moving and balancing. That was about 15 years ago, though. I weighed 93 lbs then too, but had some muscle!
