I'm in the UK been on the list for 4 years, just had my kidney removed my other kidney is polysystic and doesn't work, I feel unwell all the time, I'm sick, can't eat that well and fluid restriction its terrible, I hope I get my kidney soon, God bless you all who have had your transplant ❤
I got a deceased donor who was a perfect match. I'm a year and 4 months and everything is going great but one tip I can't stress enough is DO ANY EXERCISE you can because fatigue will hit you out of nowhere for no reason after transplant. Everytime I don't workout for days on end my body feels super tired. Even a 20 min at home quick workout will ease the fatigue. I'm counting calories and losing weight. It works for me. Cheers to all🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
My father recently had a kidney transplant last week and these videos are very helpful for him and I. My father has been on diyalisis for 11 years so it was a big blessing and gift.
Its been 6 months since my transplant i really want to keep my kidney healthy and want to take a really good care. Your video is helpful thank you doctor. 🙏🏻
5/4/24 I got mine. Thanks for the food info. even on dialysis my appetite was was good but now I need to change up the diet a little bit to keep the new kidney and my self healthy
Hi Dr. Blake a new subscriber here, I like your channel because it covers not only regarding kidney, being a Nephrologist. But you have cooking tips for different kind of illness, which helps a lot of people including me, my husband and family. I've worked as a dialysis tech way back home (Philippines), and worked with a Nephrologist. I have a friend back home who is on Rena Diet after her kidney transplant 5 years ago, I will definitely share your cooking tips with her. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, may God bless you more🙏
I’m three weeks out from my transplant surgery. My readings are dropping every time I go in for a check up. I started with a creatinine level of 11, then a 6 and now it’s at a 3. I had zero pain from the surgery and was up and walking two days after the surgery, I feel like I’ve gotten my life back after nine years of waiting. I want to protect my new kidney but I also want to enjoy food. When you first talk to a dietician it’s overwhelming, mostly what not to do, I want to know what I can eat.
I had my kidney transplant in February 2010 from a deceased donor. I have a creatinine score in the 2.1 to 2.9 and my nephrologist said it’s great. I have been following a Mediterranean diet for most of the 12 years but I need some new recipes. So, I am looking forward to your book (should be here 21 Dec., 2022)! Peace ✌️
Creatinine 2.9 and still the doctor said 'Great'? The reference level says 1.2 is the maximum. I don't know. I am also a kidney receipient since 10 years from my sister ❤
Your are so right about not much information being available about post transplant diet. I have been searching for years but couldn't find anything. Many videos convey very wrong information as well.
Indeed, I was in a dilemma after the transplant: the doctor says everything, but not too much??? At the hospital, they provided me with meat, rice, juices, dairy, legumes, and soup
In April I will have had my second kidney 31 years and hope I continues to go well. I did get hepatitis C from a blood transfusion. They cured it, and now I have cirrhosis of the liver. Which intern makes me have to take diuretics, which is very hard.
I had kidney transplant 8 years ago. All functioning well. I do vegetarian diet 3 days a week. Parsley, corn leaf and Arabic gum juice are my close friends. Still struggling with over weight though 😊
I need a living donor for my brother is blood type is B. You'll be compensated AFter with a written agreement with the Attorney pls is dyin with dialysis
So sorry to hear about your brother. Kidney disease and dialysis really sucks. I waited about six years to get a transplant. I was set back on the waiting list due to complications from dialysis. My health was getting worse and worse and my kidney team were getting concerned as my blood tests really was looking very bad. But lucky enough I did get my transplant just in time. I will offer some prayers for you and your family. I hope everything will work out for you! Seriously I do! Peace ✌️
i have been wondering what to eat and what not to eat post kidney tx. I honestly feel as if i am eating mainly the carbs all the time as one has to limit the animal protein and i have completely taken myself off all the meats and don't really like the taste of tofu/soy. How much protein would you suggest one should eat post kidney tx and what all proteins one can eat ??
Hi I’m going to Mayo clinic and also in Scottsdale Az I barely am approved for a kidney transplant to be on the list but I am waiting for them to approve me for financing I will be praying for you
Off subject but I made the sweet tea substitute in your cookbook and it was delicious, that being said is the diet Milo’s not good for your kidneys, I’ve kinda become addicted to it ever since I’ve moved down to South Carolina and honestly with stage 3 kidney disease I have no idea if I should stop it or not, also great video my cousin had a kidney transplant and I’m going to have to introduce her to your RU-vid channel!
Milos has Sucralose, an artificial sweetener therefore its not good. The least bad natural sweeteners are Stevia and Monk fruit. They are still not required though. The main goal should always be to get away from sugar and sweeteners keep the craving going. Sugar destroys body tissue so take it seriously!
