So I had my 2 week follow up yesterday with my surgeon . Liver biopsy showed cirrhosis from fatty liver disease. So totally unexpected . Now in shock . Anyone else going thru this? I am having a very hard time with this news.

that sucks, but the good news is that you had the surgery that can help fix this situation. The liver is an amazing thing, it can and will regenerate healthy tissue. you just need to do your part, which is making sure to optimize your weight loss while you are in the prime time to do so. My girlfriend had gastric bypass because she had cirrhosis, and now 3 years out she has no signs of any liver damage. you can do this! get moving! :)

good luck!

What was your doctor's recommendation for this? Did he give you specific guidelines? Thank goodness you had surgery when you did! Your weight loss will surely help to relieve the pressure from your liver!

I am glad you found out the problem. If you hadn't had the surgery and the follow-up, you wouldn't have found out. I am sorry you are having to go through this - my prayers are with you. What Sassygirl said about her girlfriend is great to hear, you may have the same positive results.

Best of luck to you.

Sharon

He told me the surgery was the best thing I could have done . Have to keep a close eye on it. Diet will be even stricter.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
