Hi everybody. I gave blood this morning for the 1st time, and didnt even think about them making me eat or drink anything afterwards. But I had a capri sun, and I did choose those 100 calorie cookies. Anyways, I think I should skip a supplement today and try and balance things out alittle. What do you guys think?

they MADE you eat it???? really? I thought it was just there in case you felt shaky....ANYWHOOOO...you should not give blood while on Medifast....I know there is a post out there about it...I'll do a search and if I find it, will post the quote

You should not donate blood while on the weight loss phase of the Medifast Program. When you donate blood, you risk putting yourself into severe dehydration and/or shock. Being on Medifast is not compatible with blood donation. When you reach your goal weight and are transitioned back to regular food you may then return to your regular blood donation schedule.

While Medifasting it is really important to consisitently keep hydrated -that's the reason we frequently mention the importance of water intake.

Joyce,
Thanks for that tip. I will definately not do that again until I am off MF! Scary, ya? Anyways, I hope the capri sun and cookies dont mess me up too much. I dont think it will. Just hav to watch it today for the rest of the day. Thanks again.

Well, I would guess that the sugar will probably be enough to throw you out of ketosis. Both the capri sun and cookies are probably pretty high in that area.

Regardless though, it's just three days

i sure hope it doesnt. Guess thats what I get though, but I was only trying to be a good samaritan. Really dont want to feel like poo again for 3 days... but if I must....I must. Typical me!
