sec1205, What I did was just try walking maybe 10 minutes. I was an avid walker b/f LTP so it was maybe a little easier for me. Your appetite will come back slowly, if u r not hungry drink a protein shake, 1/2 sandwich some fruit, yogurt jello puddings soups. My favorite was orange shubert.😊
R u taking cellcept twice a day, and tacro twice a day. Yes the immunosuppressants do make u feel tired/weak but that is unfortunately a part of LT. good days/bad days and that’s ok. I think the further u r out u start feeling better💚
I am 2.5 yrs. out and I take 1000 cellcept twice a day tacro 1mg 3/3 monday-Wednesday Thurs-Sunday 3/2. I had an acute liver rejection early October 2022. but doing much better.
It just takes time and remember your body has been thru a lot, major surgery a new liver that your body wants to try and reject. So u just be patient and listen to your body it will let u know when to much is to much.
Stay positive hang in there.💚💙😊

So glad I found your reply. Now 1 month has passed. Been in the hospital for high AST,ALT,GGT. They found a stricture in one of the bile ducts and did a liver biopsy, my first. Scheduled an ERCP which was canceled because the stricture was not life threatening. Hmm. Wonder when it becomes so.
I have begun eating 3 meals a day to keep liver busy and feel it's helped but have to force it down. Still no stamina and swimming makes me more tired but I do it
. My outlook is positive today ✨️
Thank you for helping me see the brighter side of things!
