Are there any Weight Loss supplements out there that won’t affect some who had a kidney transplant?
I had a kidney transplant six years ago. I’ve been trying to lose weight that I gained from peritoneal dialysis, but my energy level is not what it used to be. I’ve recently been diagnosed with sleep apnea also. I got sick when I was 21 and I will be 35 next month. I need to do something or it will all be down hill from here. I need something that will give me an energy boost and help me burn calories without damaging my transplanted kidney.
I am a kidney/pancreas recipient, and am very protective of my organs. I don’t take supplements in general, and if I did, I would check w/ the transplant team or nephrologist first. There’s just nothing worth losing these organs over, or taking something that interferes w/ the immunosuppressants.
Re the lack of energy – are your hemoglobin levels normal?
I just rejoined Weight Watchers, which has worked for me in the past. I’d recommend that over a supplement.
