Cleveland gave me a rather small list. There's the obvious - no grapefruit, avoid sick people - but there's also some weirder ones. One was no unprocessed cheese or undercooked meats (Had to be at least medium well steak) since you have an increased risk of food born illness. I was told I was allowed to have an alcoholic drink from time to time, but to try to limit it as much as possible since the drugs we are on can stress the liver. (You being a liver tx though, that rule may be different... ) I know of one patient that isn't allowed to go back to work since they'd have to put their child in daycare, and that's a big no-no since the kid would bring all kinds of stuff home to the parent. With all of that being said, I've broken these rules before... especially the meat one. I love sushi and I love my steak at most cooked medium. I know that there's a risk involved, but a girls gotta live every once in a while <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">
The bottom line is to check with your center before you do anything crazy. If you have something particular in mind that you wanna do, bring it up with them now. Let them research things for you. You may be surprised in what they allow you to do. For example, I'm getting my degree in Clinical Laboratory Science right now. Cleveland gave the the full OK on it, even though I'll be in a hospital lab running analysis on blood, urine and fecal samples. The only stipulation I got was that I can't work full time in the microbiology department (go figure), but with this degree, you can specialize <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">.
