Can or should you do the HCG diet after having a kidney transplant?

I do not know that much about the after-effects of a kidney transplant.
However, I DO know a lot about the HCG diet, according to my MD alternative medicine/cardiologist who has coached a plethora of folks through the protocol, and who is currently coaching more and more people through the HCG protocol everyday and is being very successful, both in the results for his patients losing weight and in his research (monitoring weight lossin men v. women, age studies, weight loss over time, etc).
fascinating weight loss program, and I myself underwent the HCG diet program and found it to be incredibly amazing and rewarding.
regarding this question at hand concerning the kidney transplant, YES - of course, under direct doctor supervision, and perhaps under a modified version of the HCG protocol, so that the kidney transplant patient moves through the diet at a much slower pace so as not to put added pressure on the heart and other organs, etc etc. I myself found that a slower-paced, modified version of the HCG diet worked wonders for me, and I also found that in the long run I kept the weight off more successfully as opposed to the more "harsh" diet programs of my past, where I went through "crash course" intense and fast-paced diets. I tended to lose weight quickly, but then put it right back on with these crash course diet programs in the end.
final answer here: YES, with V E R Y close doctor-supervised monitoring (especially if the patient is grossly obese and losing the weight would assist the patient in the long run, overall!!)

What can you eat before a kidney transplant?
Depends why you are having the kidney transplant. If it is because you were on dialysis then you need to keep to the restricted diet you would have been given. Sometimes operations are cancelled at the last moment (surgeon got the flue etc etc) so you would not want to poison your body if then the transplant does not take effect. If however the transplant is required because you injured a kidney i.e. otherwise perfectly healthy, then eat within reason just before the operation (as long as not after the time they tell you to then cease food consumption), but eat what you like.
