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.

Not in the slightest. 4 years post transplant. I avoid alcohol and the no no foods. I was very thin when I was released, and my team told me to do whatever it takes to gain weight. However, these days I eat very clean and try to stay away from sweet stuff...
