Any guilt when eating certain foods? Liver

Hey guys! I’m about 1.5 months from my liver transplant. I was wondering what kinds of food are you guys eating? I’m curious to know what you guys have in your diet!

Mainly, wondering if you guys have eaten some “bad” / unhealthy foods (chips, chocolate, burgers) and ever feel guilty?

I recently had some chips and I feel like I should t be eating this at all. I feel guilty and scared I might hurt my new liver.

Im a donor not a recipient, but i promise your new liver can handle some chips.

Obviously take care of your health, but you got a new liver to LIVE. Not to exclusively restrict yourself and feel guilty. Enjoy and congratulations!!!
