Well i went for my blood donation for the 3rd time and was denied again!!! I was only able to donate the first time and only 1 unit. The 2nd and 3rd time i was too low on the count. I bumped up the iron with extra tablets and foods but not enough.I have 9 days till surgery and no more donations. I have to still bring up my count for the operation. How many out there had to use their blood during surgery and how may units? I am worried i might need it and not have enough. Also, on my last thread ( blood to low to donate! ) I named a bunch of iron rich foods to add to diet, got it from the blood donation office, i wish i had added them sooner or had more. If someones gonna donate ask your dr. if you can add some to your daily foods to help avoid this happening to you! The foods are on the other thread. Good luck and God Bless! Hopefully the 1 unit will be enough, or i hope i don't need any at all.
