Was it the cookies and juice that I had right after the donation? I was hoping to lose a ton of weight to fit in my bikini this weekend.

    You need to donate at least 4 quarts.

    you should donate platelets instead. white blood cells have more sugar so the more you get rid of the more weight you will lose.

    500cc of blood weighs just over a pound, but your body may retain water after giving to compensate. Regardless, giving blood really should not be relied on as a weight loss tool.

    Wouldn't dating a sexy vampire be less trouble? I understand that it does wonders for the complexion in addition to helping the waistline.
