My Return of Da King

Couldn't think of any other title , n just finished watchin LOTR Return of the king for the umpteenth time :D

Last few weeks had been rough. Recovered from the bout of high liver function levels. SGPT , SGOT results were looking pretty bad , 3 weeks back. Should be near the normal range now!! Have been on a very very very bland diet. No fried food, nothin spicy, not even green chilly!

Previously I never dreamed I could avoid such food for such a looong time! But after 3 weeks , it does appear to have calmed the stomach pain.So I aint gonna do somethin stupid n end up eating fried chicken or fries :P (or even pizza/burgers for that matter!)

Missed lectures for almost 2 weeks ! So have a lot of catching up to do!! Hope things turn out fine. Coz have some examinations next week. Have to submit some papers.

Hope I return to my previous healthy state real soon.

Ciao n Peace.

My Hungry Days I

This is what I had for lunch today,
1 banana , 2 sandwiches with cucumber + tomato n no butter !! no tuna,no chicken !
1 bowl of yoghurt.
Thats all. Just y'day i had a stew which tasted like soup. I had it with bread (ew!) Thought it would taste like some nice gravy dish.

Last 3 days have been the hardest for me in a long while. I can stand pain , fear nythin ! But not hunger!! I HAVE to eat some tasty food. Dunno how I will survive on this bland food! But doc has given me strict instructions not to eat nything remotely spicy,fried food.

My hungry days continue ...

( ps : must admit though, this plain food makes me feel better :-) Dont need to exercise much when i'm on such diet :D )


Ciao n Peace.

My Liver

I was gung ho this week. Worked furiously trying to complete all assignments n project work before deadlines. Everything goin as planned. Then it had to happen!

I was pretty tired on friday night, so ordered some food. The next day had a presentation so worked till late. Then exhaustion hit me real hard. Felt queasy , thought I had a stomach upset. Things got real bad at 1Am. So messaged friends that I couldn't make it through to the presentation.

Next day got a liver test done! n it showed pretty high SGPT , SGOT results. So back to square one! No fried , spicy food, no preservatives!! I was goin2 visit my parents place on saturday. When I had gone there late at night , they knew something was wrong. Visited my regular doc there n he ordered me to rest for a week. On mom's insistence , will b staying here till wednesday!!

Well I thought my visit here would be really good. Nice spicy food n all :) Unfortunately I'm eating real bland food now. If I was wise enough ,should have stayed back at my aparment :P Atleast could eat something edible! Cant over rule mom's orders now!!

Anyways think this should relax those liver function levels lil bit. Eating all this tasteless food!

Should be back to normal in few days! Back to my old bed , slept real hard for almost 12 hrs the other day!! Will move to apartment on wednesday , if mom permits that is ...


Goin thru bumpy , hungry ride!!

Ciao n Peace.
