My name is Sergey, I am 46 years old, and I want to share the story of my rebirth to a full life. It is about restoring my liver, which turned out to be a very grateful organ that sensitively responded to my active desire to put it in order.

Started to gain weight after twenty five
In my youthful years I was no different from most of my peers: I was thin, peppy, lived easily and cheerfully. About health, as it was normal, did not think at all. There were some bad habits, nutritional flaws, often not related to a healthy lifestyle, the work and rest regimen … But all this safely “digested” youth, and didn’t particularly affect health.

With age, having started a family, working a lot (I am a programmer), I began to gain weight. And somehow it turned out “imperceptibly” that I turned from a thin guy 184 cm tall and weighing 70 kg into a very, very solid (123 kg) man. So, for 10 years I gained 53 kg, at least thirty of which were completely superfluous and made me a person with a serious degree of obesity.

At 34, for the first time I “ran into” an urgent need to lose weight. Excess weight has become a direct threat to health. I constantly had high numbers of blood pressure, a tendency to swelling, morphological changes in the digestive tract due to obesity and, most dangerous, I was diagnosed with fatty liver disease. I did not go through all these examinations immediately.

From the moment of my “peak” weight to this day 12 years have passed, 11.5 of them I somehow tried to lose weight. It turned out with varying success, for different periods. All these attempts united one thing: the kilograms dropped with great difficulty always returned, as soon as I “went out of the race” and again allowed myself not to starve and not to exhaust myself in the gym. And that’s how I used to lose weight.

Health problems
For many years, experiments on myself were not in vain: I “earned” cholelithiasis, about which I was urgently operated on in 2014.

After removing the gallbladder, I somehow came closer to medicine, began to be examined more often and take tests. Ultrasound of the internal organs of the abdominal cavity showed fatty hepatosis (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). I was particularly impressed with the words of the doctor conducting the study, that in my liver just “gurgling fat.” That was in the early fall of 2019. Then I weighed 118 kg, I felt pretty lousy – both physically and mentally. I began to tire more often and faster, my appetite was suspiciously reduced, I got a lasting feeling of heaviness, pain and discomfort in my right side, I began to get tired more often.

It is not surprising, because the liver is the center of energy metabolism, it synthesizes energy for the whole organism. If the liver is not in order, then energy may be totally lacking. Liver problems are manifested not only, for example, pain and heaviness in the right side, bloating and nausea, but also “common” symptoms – increased fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite.

However, I did not understand how to fix this. The situation for me was deadlock: an absolute understanding that you need to lose weight, restore the liver and overallhealth. At the same time, all my previous attempts to do this ended in nothing, moreover, they hurt. And how to act correctly, I did not know.

Good diet program
Truly a happy occasion helped. I managed to choose the optimal diet for myself and my body. With the help of this way of eating, my wife lost 9 kg in 5 weeks. At the beginning of November 2019, I joined, and my wife and I began to eat together as the doctor had bequeathed. In parallel with the change in lifestyle, a three-month course of hepatoprotector was included in my liver support program to restore liver cells and treat the cause of inflammation. Capsules of normal size, inside which there is a paste containing essential phospholipids, they are the “building” material for the restoration of liver cells.

I thought that now that I’ve got rid of all bad habits – I completely stopped drinking, I don’t smoke, eat right with a serious restriction of salt and sugar, I observe the water regimen (I drink 2 liters of water per day) – I can help myself even more having undergone a course of liver treatment.

My health has improved. For three months I lost 18 kg, comfortable, without torment. The side went completely, and an ultrasound scan in February 2020 showed a healthy liver, with no signs of fatty hepatosis. I continue to lead a healthy lifestyle, and my weight continues to decrease smoothly – by about 0.5 kg per week. Now I have already “connected” the gym – as soon as the scales showed the number 99. I hope that I will achieve my goal, while maintaining and strengthening my health.

Healing tips
I want to appeal to those who have problems with being overweight and fatty liver hepatosis associated with obesity. Take care of yourself – be sure to lose weight. A healthy lifestyle is much easier and much cheaper than it seems to those who are “outside”. I myself have been thinking for so many years. How wrong I was! The liver is such an organ that will endure all the bullying over itself for a long time. And then it will become “die silently.” And happiness, if you take this process by surprise and have time to save yourself!

The main thing that it is important for us all to understand about our liver: despite the fact that it depends so much on the state of its health, there is no “magic pill” that will put the precious organ in order in a couple of days. It is impossible to restore the liver in a week if it has been subjected to increased stress for years: improper nutrition, lack of sport, poor ecology. It is important not to give up and consistently go to the desired goal.
