I was diagnosed about 8 months ago with F3 liver disease with advanced cirrhosis. I started exercising and being more mindful of my diet, cutting out a lot of processed food and sugar. I have suffered from anorexia and body dismorphia in the past so this is starting to trigger that thinking! I am feeling lost on what and how much I should be eating. I am currently down to 85 lbs. Any advice?

@kristinbrooke I think that 85lbs is very scary and you should definitely talk to your doctor and friends and family about getting help. I can only imagine that it is very confusing being diagnosed with this disease and every web site telling you that losing weight is the key to better health yet you are already suffering from malnutrition so what are you to do? It sounds like you need a good dietician to help you come up with a high calorie healthy diet, maybe even some nutrition drinks that don't have added sugar would be helpful? Definitely get with your doctor on this and don't wait any longer because you need to put on some weight to be safe.
