... And vampires won't like me

For the past two and a half months i've been changing my eatling habit.  I didn't use to have breakfast early in the morning before.  It was really hard for me to eat at 6, even at 7... let alone earlier than that.  I could only bear a cup of coffee to 'wake me up'.  I could bear brunch but not breakfast.  Consequently, i usually had late lunch since i was still full at noon.  Apparently,  that kind of eating habit worsened my blood status.  I was identified of having severe anemia with severe low ferritin.  My hb was 6.3 only, while normal woman should have at least 11.7.  A friend said, "Vampires would not like to haunt you,  then... someone with little and thin blood liquid".  Heheee...
My ferritin was lower than 2 when normal people should have 15-150.  Ferritin is protein/enzyme containing iron stored in human bones.   It functions mainly to catalyze food supply to blood in order for us to get energy.  People with low ferritin has high risk of osteoporosis and bones easily cracked.  People like me would easily get fainted and dizzy,  not to mention easily get tired...
Funnily, i never got fainted.  I did get tired after office hours, but i thought it was just normal.  It was just usual tiredness, not fatigue-like.  The doctor said my body already adapted with the condition, and i was likely to lead a happy life,  that was why i appeared fine.  However, i couldn't stay with that kind of health condition coz it would risk my health in the long run, not to mention that i will have to go through surgery in the near future.
So, there goes the change of my eating habit.  Now, i must have breakfast (big one if possible).  And it must include eggs, with the ratio 3:1 for albumin over egg yolk.  I must drink juice, milk with high calcium.  I surely have to eat a lot.  Eat meat a lot (i like this one ).  And wait...that's not enough.  I must be infused with iron liquid oncr every 2-3 weeks. 
And here i am now...chubby...doesn't matter.  My hb is already 10.2, my ferritin is already 20...not bad,  right?  I still need to get the iron transfusion this afternoon.  "One more," said the doctor.  Well, it's been the second time she said 'one more'.

Just now, i had my breakfast... rice with fried tofu and chicken soup, plus two sets of cheese sandwich.  Heheee....
