Please give yourself a little more time. 7 mos post is not that long for your body to bounce back from such a major surgery. Your organs are slowly going back into place and have experienced some trauma. Also, your core muscles have been surgerically severed. It may take a year or more to feel kind of normal again. Be patient and kind to yourself and listen to your body for rest.

I had a liver transplant in January of 21. The temperature issue is still present but substantially under control.
The scar tissue is a bigger issue. I found what I was told was scar issue was changing in texture hard or soft. I could also hear liquid. It turned out to be an umbilical hernia. It is quite common and May come back after repaired. Tom

Thank you. I can relate. Sometimes by stomach feels bigger then other times, especially after dinner or lunch. I’m only 7 months post transplant and I feel it will take time. Daily walks are certainly helpful.
