in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone!

I received a new liver on June 25, 2018. Since 2007 (actually longer, that was just when I was diagnosed), with a very rare type of cancer. I am working on losing about 30 lbs since I am overweight from all my crazy meds and my donor liver already had a little bit of a start of fatty liver. I am finally at the point where I can keep most food down and I can move around again. Whew!

My transplant team has me on a pretty tight leash with all my meds, and in addition to an army of doctors and specialists, I also work closely with a nutritionist who is helping me through all this.

Just wanted to buzz in and say hello - and see if there are others who are either transplant recipients or cancer survivors that are looking to live healthier lives.

    I'm not either of those things, but I do have some health issues, diabetes and lupus, which can make it tricky to stay active and lose weight. I also have some problems with fatty liver despite losing down to normal weight.

    Wishing you all the best!
