Hard time losing weight with NAFLD

Hello,
I'm new here, and just wanted to know if anyone else finds it near impossible to lose with with NAFLD, my enzymes were mildly elevated. I have been going to the gym since December for 1 hour 4-5 days a week, and have not lost any weight. I just found out I have NAFLD and I'm going for a liver biopsy next month. I have been trying so hard to lose weight since they recommend controlling it through diet and exercise but just can't seem to lose anything. I'm also scared to death to get this liver biopsy and I am so fearful that it will be worst case....I have 2 small children and I can't bear to find out I have a severe case or cirrhosis. I have a great husband and supportive friends and just pray that everything turns out ok. Posted on 10/09/09, 06:10 pm |

I have a hard time losing weight also, I lose it and it returns,
My gastrologist said to lose only a lb a week, anymore will harm your liver more. If your liver is extremely damage, I would believe you would have some yellowing in your eyes and skin. Might be wrong but I try to read what I can at mayo clinic and other sites, which I trust for good info. I know just walking is a good exercise and try to take it slow. I been juicing and it seems to help, esp carrot juice. I bought my own juicer and juicing book. I was motiivated for awhile then been ttraveling so that ended it for awhile. I know our Publix grocery store has carrto juice and other juices in their veg sections which are really good. We can do this, ,,,,,,,,just have to stay motivated, though its hard. I am istanding beside you. lets keep trying

Thank you...It is just so frustrating not to lose a single lb yet to exercise so hard. Maybe I will look into juicing and see if that takes the weight off.
I don't have yellowing and my GI told me that his "best educated guess is that I don't have cirrhosis" but wanted the biopsy to be sure. My spleen was also on the high end of normal which I don't think is good, I have been trying to research it all but some of it seems contradicting. Its so great to have found this group.
