3 weeks post liver transplant: when will I feel better?

I will be 18months post transplant in July. I am still struggling with stamina..I have none..my weight, low moods, poor kidney function. Just loads of symptoms.
My husband keeps reminding me I haven't just had an ingrowing toenail sorted it's a huge op having a liver transplant but I hoped I would be feeling like a little lamb now.
My kidneys have never kicked back in following my transplant and I have had dialysis and have monthly checks. I may need a kidney transplant now, but whether this is the cause of my slow recovery or the fact I am 66yrs old I don't know. Good luck to you all hope you feel better soon. Jan x

Thank you. I too have bad kidney function. I do drink a ton of water, lean to more natural remedies but nothing helps. I'm 5 months post and miss my younger self (55 now) the one with energy. It sounds like you have a wonderful husband, what a good reminder. It's a hug op. Life changing. I'm more patient with others than with myself. So self care is vital for me. I can expect to recover like others. My donor/sister went back to work 1 month after surgery. I was resentful of her progress then remembered i was growing a liver. You've got this. Hang in there! This is a great support group. I just joined a few days ago. Learning a lot and it helps to talk. 😊
