I forgot to log my steps last night so for 12/7 steps - 7532. (Note my American friends I put the month before the day even though it almost killed me
)
Would love to hear more from those of you who have also been diagnosed with NAFLD or NASH. Having only just recently had my diagnosis its been a very scary wake up call. What are your go to foods and what foods do you avoid? Has anyone had follow up ultrasounds and seen any improvement? How long did it take to start improving? What's the best bit of advise you can give someone starting their recovery journey?
Thank you everyone for being so brave in sharing their stories.
I told you a little about my fatty liver disease. My problem is it hasn’t given we the wake call that you have. I was diagnosed with NASH by an internal medicine doctor. He referred me to a hepatologist. They can offer more advanced liver scanning. I believe the scan is called a fibroscan. They also did a liver biopsy to check the progression of the disease. I have to get liver function test every 3 months and there are many medications I can’t take as it makes my liver angry. In fact, I had to stop the main medication to manage my RA but we have found another that is working pretty good. I guess I have concentrated so long on management of my diabetes that it has been my main focus. That in turn helps with other illnesses. I haven’t had a grumpy liver in awhile. I think you are on the right path for dealing with yout fatty liver. Always follow your doctors recommendations. Also, a dietitian is a great resource.
Thank you, yes good advise, I'm going to see a dietitian next week.2 -
Good evening. One less Wednesday this year.
Check in for 12/8:
Steps - 12669
Calories - 1600 or so.
Exercise - walk 80 minutes with daughter.3 -
Easy eating day today, just not very hungry. I ate oatmeal for dinner to stave off any cravings later and then left the kitchen. Sometimes I send one of my kids to get water for me if I’m worried I might be snacky while I am in there!
But I was definitely not feeling the exercise today. Which is why I am pacing around my dining and living rooms right this moment as I type to finish off the last steps! 😂😂😂
So today 6000 even! Whew!
(12/6 was 6358)
First time of 8 days in a row of 6000 steps. My Lord, what was I thinking!! Still, I’m feeling pretty proud of myself. Let’s have a great Thursday!! One day at a time.4 -

What a great idea? Actually two! I never thought of sending hubby to the kitchen. Oatmeal would even be a great snack idea in the evenings. You should feel proud of yourself. That is an amazing accomplishment.Pippin20206 wrote: »Daily check-in

Today has been 1 year since Kevin died of Covid complications. While feeling a sense of loss I stayed within calories today. That is really good for me because I was alone in the morning and being alone tends to bring on comfort eating. Started physical therapy today for my right leg then rode the recombinant stationary bike at the rec center after therapy for 35 minutes.5
