Question About Weight Loss After Kidney Transplant and Visible Belly Bulge
Hey everyone! How are you doing? Hope everything is going well =)
Two years ago I had a kidney transplant after spending some time on dialysis. Before the surgery, I used to weigh around 82kg, and now, after two years of regular exercise and doing martial arts a couple of days a week, I’m around 94kg.
I’m thinking about seeing a nutritionist and maybe focusing less on martial arts and more on the gym, but I’m a bit “afraid” that the kidney bulge in my belly could become much more noticeable if I lose weight and get leaner (basically, if I lose body fat).
Just to be clear, I feel great overall. I’m 25 years old and honestly feel super healthy — I can walk, run, etc. without any problems, and when I do Muay Thai I actually feel like my striking is pretty good. But it’s true that when I look at myself in the mirror, I do feel a bit overweight, and it’s something I’d like to change. The main issue is that I wouldn’t want the belly bulge to become too noticeable.
I was wondering if any of you could share your experiences, especially those of you who have lost weight after a kidney transplant. Did the belly bulge become much more noticeable?
Thanks a lot for reading me =)
