Potentially reversible, macrovesicular fatty liver usually is not in itself harmful. It is reversible even in potentially fatal instances (eg, in fatty liver of pregnancy, early delivery may be lifesaving). Alcoholic fatty liver may be accompanied by inflammation and necrosis (alcoholic hepatitis) and permanent damage in the form of cirrhosis. No specific therapy is available except to eliminate the cause or treat the underlying disorder.

were you told if it's alcoholic or non alcoholic? Both can lead to degeneration of the liver but with the right diet and exercise..yeah I know...lol We've all heard it before... Good news is if it was caught in time you'll be fine. Livers have the amazing ability to fix itself but it does need our help. If you google fatty liver you can find a wealth of information. main thing is to stay away from sugar and starchs and carbs...everything that tastes good pretty much. I'm pretty new to this myself but find the people on here have a good idea about the do's and don't and can really steer you in the right direction.

Try to stay away from white bread, pastas and rice. mostly the white stuff. Even potatoes have a lot of starch in them so have them sparingly.
It's not easy but definitely better than the consequences.
