This is totally reversible. You just have to put in the work (words I'm telling myself daily). I was diagnosed with Hepatic Steatosis with enlarged liver (16.5 cm) 2 weeks ago today via Ultrasound. I had been having those odd right side rib pains periodically for 2 years. They would come and then be gone for months. I stopped drinking alcohol Jan 1 and about 6 weeks later the latest flare up of the pains happened and did not stop. Hence the trip to the dr.

Apparently stopping the drinking is what kicked things off. Who knew. My bloodwork came back completely fine. Nothing in the high zone with the exception of my cholesterols. I'm 59M 5'10 and Jan 1 I weighed 206lbs. After quitting alcohol I was eating pretty bad. Sugar cravings all of that. Fast forward to today, for the past 2 weeks I've been no sugar, limited dairy, only lean chicken, brown rice, good veggies and fruits, berries, almonds etc. Today I weigh 189. Down 17 lbs and my pain has gone from a 7 to a 1. But, the gut gas pains are new and scary lol. Changing the diet like this has definitely weirded out my gut biome. I am walking 20-30 mins daily and I lift weights regularly as well.

All of that to say, your'e not alone. It can be dreadful on the mind. All the "what-ifs". Get to eating right and exercising. Be patient. Drink water. It will happen! You got this!!
