Good evening everyone. Today in one of my Facebook support groups a wonderful person @beachhouse_dreamer shared her thoughts so eloquently on dealing with liver disease that I am just sharing them here, verbatim. I think many of us see ourselves here.
“You are not alone my friends..
I too look around at people I know & think 'My God, these people are poisoning their bodys like crazy! How can they not have a comprised liver like I do?'
The thoughts and feelings come from our grieving. We feel as tho we have been robbed. The loss of our free will to eat as we choose, to dine freely in restaurants with family and friends, and to be able to have a cocktail or two in celebration. I find the strictness of this diet is all consuming; we have to think about every single thing we put in our mouth's, even a piece of gum...
This is a life long disease. If you are to regenerate new healthy cells, they will turn fatty if you return to old eating habits. Planning every meal, chopping, slicing & diceing takes so much time. So much time is wasted wondering- is this ok to eat? Worrying- I've been eating good, how is my liver doing? Weighing & measuring everything, reading Nutritional Values and Ingredients of everything! Using Google to look up ingredients you are unfamiliar with. And doctors not taking us serious!
I am still grieving, as most of us are. I don't feel like the thoughts will ever pass. I am closer to acceptance of this disease & with time and knowledge, I pray it will not consume my life forever. If we want to continue to live, our eating & lifestyles must be this way. When having a down-n-out day, I think to myself, 'I can do this, this disease might have a hold on me but I thank the Lord that it is not some other disease where there is no hope.'
We have hope & a lot of work ahead of us, but we can do it. There is a cure!”
Love, Sue
