I was diagnosed with liver failure about 3 months ago. Doctors recommend a transplant. I am following their dietary guidelines, taking my prescribed medication and going to the suggested classes

What do you mean when you say they suggested it? Are you under care of a primary care physician, or a gastroenterologist?
It sounds like you are being proactive by keeping prescribed medications and following dietary guidelines. That is important to do; keep it up! I was diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis and it took 8+ years to develop to cirrhosis/liver failure. That is when I was referred to transplant evaluation.
Some liver conditions are reversible; the liver is a fantastic organ. What do you have? And have they discussed any of this with you?
