I donate a few times a year and organize a blood drive at work. You should have something in your stomach before you go, but not right before. Eat about 2 hours beforehand and it might be good to stay away from fatty or sodium rich foods. After you finish they will want you to have some juice or a cookie, thats a good idea too.

I'm going to the blood donor clinic tomorrow to see if they will be able to take my blood this time

I had steak for dinner tonight, but I was wondering what I should have for breakfast and how soon before I go there should I eat it?

I don't want to faint or throw up or something indifferent indifferent indifferent


Has anyone here donated blood and how was it?


Banana prior too, regular meals afterwards with lots of water!

That's cute! I work at a hospital so they have a drive on regular schedules so there is just enough time to be able to donate again. Painless and I have never had a problem. Well, one time I ran up a couple of flights of stairs right after and got a bit light headed! Nothing serious though.
