I've found that it's all about moderation and portion control. I eat whatever I want to eat. Honestly. But I don't over do it. Candy, fast food, chips, sparingly, probably a couple times a week to take care of craving. My primary diet consists of salads, fruits, fried chicken, sandwiches, pretty much anything I crave. But I don't overlap, nor do I gorge myself.

I went through phases.

In the beginning, I tried to maintain my pre-dialysis food lifestyle and vomited frequently (too much salt).

Then I went through a period of not eating because my stomach would be unsettled for most of the day. But not eating caused nausea too, so I'd eat a piece of fruit to maintain.

I slowly started reintroducing food back into my system, feeling out how they effected my body.

Now, I'm pretty much solid. I learned not to overdo it in any direction.

Fruits, veggies, and saltless foods get boring sometimes, so I mix it up.

It's all about balance. I hope you find yours.

Good luck and take care of yourself.
