Can Liver Injuries Lead to Weight Gain?

Can physical live injuries (trauma, blunt force fractures whatever)... lead to weight gain?

Please only answer if you know what the heck you are talking about.

But I thought most of the processes in the liver occur at a cellular level...
In Late January I had an accident that lead to a liver fracture, causing bleeding and a hole (persay) inside the liver. Said it would be about 6 months to heal. My weight hit a plateau around june/july. It was a serious injury (ICU for three days). Just wondering if it could be a contributing factor to my 30 pound weight gain in 7 months.
It seems like a lot, and I've been getting sh*t from family and freinds about it. Hoping there might be a medical reason for this?

You're recovering from a major injury and have probably not been as active as before you were hurt. Your family and friends need a reality check and to get off your back. My sister had a ruptured liver and it took a full year for her to get back to normal energy. I'm sure if you had repair surgery, the doctors went through a lot of major muscle groups so vigorous exercise may not be what they want you to be doing anyway. Tell your family to back off or drag them to the doctor with you and let the doctor put them in their places.

No, liver injuries do not directly cause weight gain. However, recovering from the injury can cause weight gain. If you are laying in bed or not being as active as you normally are, that will make you gain weight.

Indeed they can! Your liver controls the waste that comes into your body, and vconverts many things tat come through it to water and fat. Look at the standard beer belly. If too much alcohol is consumed over a long enough period of time, the liver's decomposition of the toxins of alcohol begins to get backed up; less water is able to leave and more fat builds up around the midsection. It's easy to see how a liver whose inner-workings are not all up to speed could easily lead to weight gain. I suggest drinking green tea with dandelion extracts; these are both diuretics and will clean out your liver, allowing it to function better and make less fat for your body to carry.
