The only diet I followed after transplant was eating and feasting like a king.

21 years and counting - no special diet. I do try to eat a healthy diet and I still watch my salt intact.

Hi,

I have an Instagram where I am keeping track of my diet. It’s @renalvegetarianjourney. I keep track of all the foods I’m eating here to help others.

I know your initial question was months ago, but I just read it and I was not given a specific diet. However, I was told not to eat raw shell fish, pomegranates, and mangos ever again. That has not been a problem. I had my transplant in 2012 and in the first week or two, I was dehydrated no matter how much liquids I consumed. After 3 trips for IV drips, a nurse suggested that I should try drinks with electrolytes. I don't care for those sports drinks, so I started to drink SmartWater. That did the trick and now, 9 years later, I no longer have any problems. I have religiously followed what my nephrologist says. Stay informed and stay healthy!
