    Eat Before You Donate!!!

    Hello everyone, I am so upset today because I just got off the 14 Induction and lost 15 lbs. now I have to go back on or want to. I went to donate plasma this morning and I had to be there really early so I didn't have time to eat. WELL.. needless to say I got a little woosie and they wouldn't let me leave until I finished a bottle of grape juice and 2 packs of cheese crackers. I turned it over and nearly passed out when I saw the number of carbs. When the nurse wasn't looking I hid one pack of crackers in my purse but had to finish the rest. Yep! By the time I finish dinner tonight I will be over 100 carbs for the day. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT

      I always bring my own, safe foods with me whenever I donate blood or plasma so that I can safely avoid the cookies and crackers without getting woozy. I guess you've learned a valuable lesson about planning, and congrats on your loss!

              I just finished giving blood, and took my own celery and cheese with me. I also had flax muffins (minis), but didn't eat those.

              I knew from previous experience that there was nothing "friendly" to eat in that place.

                  If it doesn't set off cravings I say just drink lots and lots of water and pick up where you left off instead of starting over! And like the ladies said, you know better next time!

                  OH and I want to add, good for you on donating!

                      I just donated again today and I ate first this time but now that I'm home I feel really woozy. So much so that I am don't even want to stand up to make lunch for myself. I'm drinking water as quickly as possible so I hope that will make this feeling go away fast.
