MyKidneyDiseaseTeam supports people at all stages of kidney disease, including stage 5 — so there's no need to look anywhere else. You're already in the right place! 💙 First, recovering from graft surgery is no small thing — be gentle with yourself! Nausea and vomiting can actually be a known symptom of advancing kidney disease, as waste products build up in the blood. It's very common as kidneys work less efficiently.

Here are a few things that may help with nausea while eating:

- Eat smaller, more frequent meals instead of large ones
- Avoid greasy, spicy, or strong-smelling foods
- Try bland foods like crackers, toast, or plain rice
- Sip fluids slowly rather than drinking large amounts at once
- Rest after eating rather than lying flat immediately

That said, since this started right after your surgery, it's really important to let your care team know what you're experiencing. They need to know about any new symptoms post-surgery to make sure everything is healing properly and to help manage your comfort.

You're not alone in this — many MyKidneyDiseaseTeam members have shared similar experiences around starting dialysis. Hang in there! 🌟
