I've got to say that I think running/walking plus some strength training (pushups, situps, etc.) seems to work best. I had a heart txp 3 years ago. Before all of the issues that led to that I was a sub 2:30 marathoner. I was able to go back to running a couple of months after  the surgery. Not at that level, but I've worked my way up to about 7 miles a day at about a 12 minute pace. I've been very fortunate to have had almost no post txp problems. As long as I don't push things too much, this seems to work ok.

I just began running in early November, ran a few 5ks and am now training for a 10k and doing ab workouts. I had a liver transplant 16 years ago. Any suggestions how to deal with scar tissue pain that comes up?

Yes I had a little baby boy in april 2012, after my kidney transplantation that happened 2006. So proud :) :) :)

Lilian my doctor told me that swimming is best exercise for us. But they recommend sea or ocean. Because of bacteria.

Hi everyone, I like swimming, and I would like to know your experience after transplant. I had my kidney transplant  three years ago and feeling fine, I have osteoporosis and I exercise twice a week. I swim in a gym, does someone go swimming?

And my diet... I am trying not to eat to late. All that is working for me. I lost almost all my baby fat after my pregnancy.

Hi Rise  Here is my standard breakfast, which I have every day. I'm personally not bothered by eating the same thing over and over.

4 large eggs

1 Tbs coconut oil

100 g raw chopped spinach

2 Tbs half & half

1/4 tsp iodized sea salt

I cook this up in the coconut oil, adding the spinach toward the end.

I also have an oversize cup of black coffee, probably 12 oz, and 2tsp of MCT oil.

This is 20% protein, 3% carbs and 77% fat, and 533 calories. It gives me 28 g of protein.

Recently I've been experimenting with intermittent fasting, so I don't have this until late morning.

A further comment. I'm not trying to convert people to eating a low carb diet, just providing some information.
