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.

Not what you're looking for?
