food tastes good again and I had the same problem for a short while. It is important to stay a a healthy weight to avoid diabetes and related problems.

I have found stabilizing my weight is easier as I have so much more energy. I am 4 years post transplant

Speak to your consultant, and get a second or third opinion if needs be. My mum had this problem, it was ignored and she died almost a year ago, as all the kidneys died, she wasn't eating and drinking properly to try and avoid weight gain, and developed pneumonia so her doctors failed her.
