13 months and labs

So here I am at 13 months...I am at goal...working on maintenance which is really just the diet plus a few carbs thrown in ...more calories...and excercise....but fasting for those damn labs was really
difficult and I kept putting it off because it's hard with a little stomach to go 12 hours without anything..so I go at 6 am to get my labs done and they take...wait for it....16 vials of blood...yiiikes...
and I'm like I'm gonna pass out here...do you have OJ or a cookie for me? always squeamish about giving blood....anyhow they reasured me that it was not that much... I lay down for it...and it's over now...waiting for the results....I'll let you guys know when I hear....in the meantime wishing you all
a happy day....SEAVIEW 

They grab 16 from me also and I truly know the feeling of going to pass out.. I always bring something with me anyway...hopefully they will turn out good.

let us know the results!  i'm having mine done in a couple of weeks....my 1 year follow up is 6/20!

Happy surgiversary! lol I'll see your 16 vials and raise you 2 more. Good luck.

Hi, it is good to see you post!!  Congratulations on goal.  Last year after my annual blood draw I decided I would have to take something with me when I had that done again.  I felt sick all day until I finally got enough fluids in me.
Good luck with your labs.
