Why I'm Back

The good news is you want to take positive action for a healthier you.

The good news is that Fatty Liver syndrome can be treated. And for many people it isn't a problem, provided that they don't revert back or have an underlying genetic causation.

Start tracking on here what you eat. Everything. Be very specific as to amounts. Leave nothing out. If your doctor put you on a specific diet or told you specific things to stay away from, heed his words over anything you read here or anywhere else.

Do you stay inside all the time? If so, it would help your vitamin D level to get outside.

As to exercise, start off by walking 20 minutes a day. That may not sound like much. However, if you haven't been active at all exercise wise, that is a good first step. The last thing you want to do, is go full tilt with exercise the first week, and injure yourself.

Walk a week at 20 minutes a day. Week 2 do the same time but walk twice a day. Slowly build each week. Slow and steady will be safer and yield better results.

You are in the right place! There are so many people here who give me better support than family or friends!! Don't give up!

I had a similar Come To Jesus moment at the doctor's. Woke up eating Crunch Berries and Krispy Kremes, went to bed eating baked chicken and green beans. Nothing like a "If you don't make huge changes, right now, you'll probably die" to knock some sense into you!

After testing, I got a NASH diagnosis and not a cancer one (yay that.) B-12 and D were both abysmally low - one was lower than they can even test for. There's more, too, lol, but none similar to you.

I'm down 85 pounds from 250. My liver has improved (woot!), but is still not great and sometimes I have pain there. It's clinically better, but it didn't hurt at all (unless someone pressed on it) when all this crap got found and now it does. They don't know why I hurt now when I didn't before, but we are all guessing it might not be good, lol.

If I did all the things I've done to get better and still get sicker and croak, I'm going to be very pissed, lol.

I tell you all of this so that you'll believe me when I say: Deal with this now, while you can. Follow the doctor's orders. I don't care who else tells you what else. If you read something here or on WebMD...if a friend or coworker tells you you'd be better off with X, Y and Z or that their aunt did something else or whatever (!) - pay it no attention. Follow the doctor's orders.

Don't wait until it's too late and don't get into my position, wondering if your liver is going to get better or kill you.

Liver problems are no joke. When the liver goes, you die. You can try for a new one, but there isn't usually time to get a new one when it craps out suddenly.

Don't play games with it. Do your best to follow the doctor's orders. It's your life you're talking about.
