Hello Everyone,
Alright, a little bit of background on me. I've been dealing with non-alcoholic fatty liver off and on for about five years now, one of the things I'm trying to get under control by way of appropriate weight loss. I don't like feeling a range of sudden sharp pains to lingering dull aches in my side.
Recently I've been dealing with some heavy anxiety due to other issues in my life, which have cause me to eat a lot less than normal, pace around my apartment at night, sweat profusely, etc. This went on for almost two weeks. Due to medications I'm doing better now, however in that two weeks I dropped at least 15 pounds, closer to 20 though. Don't know my exact weight before it started by I know it was in the mid-320's, but it's been as low as 307. I think I got it stabalized at 310 now. Last Saturday on the 22nd, I felt that familiar sharp pain in my right side under my ribcage, and since then the same dull ache. Signs of a liver getting large and pushing against the outer membrane which cases such pain, according to my doctor anyway.
I've read that liver damage or worsening of things like non-alcoholic fatty liver can actually be made worse if you lose too much weight too quickly. Before this started I thought I had it under control but with this happening apparently not. I maintain a 4 to 5 day a week exercise routine, half hour of medium cardio each time, and I'm pretty good about eating healthy foods, so it's not a case of fatty liver due to me shrinking back on old bad habits.
My guess is that it came back because I lost that much weight that quickly and the liver didn't like it much. Thoughts on this?
Thanks,
William
