I've had my letter from the consultant come regarding my latest results.
I've gone from severe fatty liver to mild fatty liver, and borderline cirrhosis to normal! My liver contour is now as it should be so I'm very pleased.
As I still have mild fatty liver I will continue to lose weight until thats normal. This whole thing has taught me a few different things. Not to be complacent about weight. I think because of how much obesity has increased and we see so many more people carrying weight we now make it the normal. Its not normal and I've been in denial for a while about my weight. I didnt realise quite how ill it was making me. I'm not massively obese but its enough to be having effects on my health. I've lost 2 and a half stone so far and plan on losing another 2 stone to put me in a normal BMI. We need to be talking more about the effects on our organs this is having, rather than just what it makes us look like physically.
Its also taught me to enjoy life more. I've suffered with depression and anxiety for years, and food was my savior and also my downfall. I ate because it gave me an instant high, and then the lows would come because I felt so crap about myself. I now exercise more, and enjoy the little things. I now eat a mainly whole food diet which has done wonders for me personally. My anxiety has gone but I do still suffer with depression but not as bad as I was. I make the most of my life now. I'm planning a big holiday with my husband next March (fingers crossed!) to Thailand and Singapore.
Thansk to everyone for advise and help I've received over the past 6 months.

I had chronic diahrea everyday which was so bad it caused bleeding, felt very tired a lot but that was probably due to weight gain. Other than that nothing. High ALT and AST pointed to an issue but without those I wouldn't have known what it was
Thank you yes I feel much better and am enjoying wearing smaller clothes already!
Whole foods is natural food. So oats, fruits, veg, lentils, spices etc. No processed food. So instead of a fruit flavoured yogurt which is processed I would only eat natural yogurt. No cereals as processed so just oats. No chocolate or crisps etc. If I wanted something to snack on it would be edamame beans or chickpeas roasted in the oven with some paprika on top or air dried popcorn done myself. I wasn't on anything luckily as they said that would discussed at my next consultation but as ive done so well I won't need anything now
I'm slowly trying to sort my diet out. I eat alot of fruit and veg, it needs some further adjustment but I'm getting there. I like a treat though every now and then though
I allow myself a treat meal once a week so a Saturday night. I never have pizza though as its just pure empty calories. I try and have a chicken kebab with salad and pitta as that's not too bad or something along those lines. Do you have a fatty liver?
Yes, I do. I also have AIH, I'm trying to cut down processed food and eat less meat. I usually have plantain crisps, or make my own apple crumble with organic flour
6 months to lose 2 and a half stone. It definitely got harder after the first 2 months. I have PCOS which makes it even harder to lose weight. Lucky me! I work out 3 times a week and walk about 3 mile a day with the dog.
