Hello! I try to regularly donate blood. I have a rare blood type and red cross just loves to call to let me know when it's time lol. They called today but I missed it. I was thinking I would go to the blood drive tomorrow, about 30 min away. Can you donate after surgery? I'll find out tomorrow but just wondering if anyone knows.
thanks

Rewind about 5 years. When I first met them (the sisters) I was 145lbs. They were very nice. Thought maybe I would be friends with the one who was my age.
Then I got pregnant. Ate, ate and ate some more. Had a baby, weighed 200lbs. Got pp depression, turned to food. Weighed 250lbs. now the sisters ...

Every single bite and every single sip I take I get the gurgling in my throat. As if I'm swallowing air. I concentrate on eating and drinking, trying so hard to make sure I don't swallow air I
This is really annoying
