Here is a recipe book that @kamama94 had created a while back. It has been posted in other kidney discussions here, and I for one am very grateful to have her guidance on what has worked for her!

Like others, I watch labels carefully, and avoid over-processed foods as much as possible. I have been following a renal diet for over 10 years, and things become a habit. You can imagine my surprise, when there was a medication change several months ago, I had to suddenly switch to add potassium [via supplements and diet change] to my daily habits. I went out and bought a half-gallon of orange juice!

As for weight loss and what to do. Many smaller meals during the course of a day may help. Eat even if you aren't hungry, even if the taste buds are cooperating with you. I will snack on Ginger Snap cookies [not too sweet but a light taste], celery or carrots with peanut butter, unsalted tortilla chips with hummus. Iceberg lettuce wedge with low fat dressing. Also, in an effort to increase my albumin [need a good level to have a positive dialysis experience], I do a protein shake most days. Greek yoghurt, frozen fruit thawed out, almond milk, and a scoop of protein powder mixed together. The protein powder I use is pea-protein based, not whey protein which can cause issue for kidney patients. I do find the protein drink fills me up, and makes me want to not eat a meal for several hours. But I also have other health issues going on that add to the weight loss issues.

@marlinhampton Let me add my welcome, also, to Mayo Clinic Connect. You will find us to be a helpful group who wants to help others along their own journey. Have you spoken to your medical care team about your weight loss, and gotten their thoughts? Have any of these ideas helped you?
