Losing weight is now a must !!!!!

Hey all, my name is Paulina and I am a 53 yr old wife, mother and grandma. I am at the point now that I have to lose weight and fast. I was diagnosed 2 yrs ago with fatty liver at the same time I was diagnosed with cancer. I was so intent on beating the cancer that I just didn't comprehend how important it was to also take care of my liver. Well about a month ago I found myself in the ER in excruciating pain and after a ct scan they found that my liver has now gone into cirrohsis and if I do not change my eating and lose weight I will find myself on a transplant list in the not too near future. I am now on a fat free, sugar free, meat free and alcohol free diet. I was at 272 lbs alittle over a month ago and now I'm 227. Its easy to lose weight when it hurts to eat. I came back to my fitness pal last week so I can track my progress and have found that I cannot consume all the calories that I am supposed to. I am eating very small meals...actually more like constant grazing because if my stomach gets too big it pushes on my liver and really hurts. I also need to get my liver stronger because it looks like the cancer is back and I may have to do chemo. I'm hoping that with support from other people struggling with the same problem....I will be able to do it this time. Anyway thanks for listening.....

I'm so sorry you've been sick..my heart goes out to you, I understand as I've dealt with more than fair share of cancer over the last year...I wont go into details, but I wanted you to know I feel your pain..much love to you, I pray you get better soon, and start feeling well again. It sounds like you've already made huge progress on the scale, keep working on that and taking care of yourself if and when you can...xo
