Weight Gain After Transplant: Where Does it Come From and How to Get Rid of It Oct 5, 2023 | By Mayo Clinic Transplant Staff (@mayoclinictransplantstaff)Comment receiving replies
@rosemarya I managed so well for a long time but am not doing very well these days. Each day I vow to be very strict in what I eat, and then on most days I cave. Today hopefully will be better. I really want to drop these excess pounds, about 10 right now, that I have gained over the last year.

I am 71 and entered kidney transplant at 118#. I did exceptionally well. My weight is up 10# since my transplant May 2022. My transplant nurse said I will gain 20-40 pounds. That put me in shock! I’ve always watched my weight. I eat healthy and lately been walking 5000-7000 steps a day with no reduction in pounds. How much does the meds have in weight gain? I was told that exercising will not help. Looking for someone that experiencing this same situation to please comment
