@jeniferwm i was told to eat a lot of protein- like 80
Grams a day pre transplant, but no more than half animal protein- too much animal (vs plant) protein can make you prone to HE. I was also encouraged to eat Whole Foods (not processed stuff). In any case, they key for me was talking to my liver team nutritionist.

What happened with your parentheses?

Had paracentesis 18 times since February. Other than a few post surgical pains (one after bowel got stuck in suction) things went well - until they didn’t. Had infection, internal bleeding, sepsis and organ failure. Stopped breathing so I was intubated. I am terrified every time I get another.
