This is a great question. I always cheat a little around the holidays but I am mindful of only doing that for one meal and not every single meal that day. As many of us know, it is a little easier post transplant but while on dialysis I was a lot more careful. I was on peritoneal dialysis and doing treatments every night so my restrictions weren't as heavy as some patients who are only able to get dialysis 3x a week. The stuffing was my weakness! My mom would make a lower sodium version for me but it was just not the same, haha!
I do cheat a little, too. I am lucky to have family that make sides and dishes everyone can eat. Just be cautious about food being left out and the kiddo hands that get everywhere.
