You’re certainly doing all the right things! So, hang in there. Remember, everyone’s bodies are different. And, our bodies all adjust differently to our transplant surgery and our meds. And, healthy eating and exercise, at least to the ability one can, is the best practice for our bodies.

After surgery I was in the hospital on a dreadful feeding tube for a month and a week, and then sent home with it! I wasn’t getting enough protein and struggled to gain weight. And, still haven’t gone back to my pretransplant weight. But, at least my liver doctor doesn’t tell me I’m malnourished anymore!

Thanks for the encouragement and I certainly wouldn’t want the feeding tube. Glad to be getting healthy and I actually look forward to going to the gym. Home exercising tends to other things happening that interrupt my workout and don’t give me the same kind of reward.
