hi CAINNE,

You should be fine; make sure to stay well-hydrated, which you are doing ... and make sure also that those LC snacks contain protein. Some jerky, hard-boiled eggs, cheese etc. Avoid having any caffeine today .. coffee or tea .. since the caffeine will have diuretic effect, and you want to avoid being dehydrated before you even get to the clinic.

We had a discussion a while back regarding blood donation, and issues about anemia and iron. You might be interested to check that out here.

Good luck to you

Doreen
