I know you want to recapture your old normal life ASAP but your body has been put through the ringer so to speak. Don't push it while it recovers which may take well over a year or longer. Do try to eat anything you want. You will find some things work and some don't but don't give up trying. It wasn't until 16 months post Tx for me that I finally was happy with my recovery and to some that was a fast recovery.
