How Fast Are You?

[RedRyder]

Here it is a Friday night and I can't eat.... or drink..... :willy_nilly:

I have to Fast due to getting blood drawn in the morning.

I'm allowed to drink water only. Yummy!

What I want to know is what do you do during a Fast? Particularly when it's a Friday night.

I watch movies or read a book when I have had to do a fast...

I watch movies or read a book when I have had to do a fast...

I was watching TV.... but most of the commercials involved FOOD!

Now I'm watching a movie.... sipping on a bottled water.... and my tummy is grumbling. By tomorrow morning, I'll be starved!

I'm planning on eating breakfast afterward at a local diner. They serve a pretty good meal and have very good coffee too.

My clinic's lab opens up at 8:30 am. They only say no food after midnight.
However, I eat a late supper, shortly before 8 pm, and I'm good til morning. After the draw, I head for Hardees for Loaded Bisquits'n'Gravy!

Luckily, the clinic I go to is located at the hospital. Opens at 7 a.m.

I ate dinner at 6 p.m. tonight. Had a small snack right afterward around 6:45 p.m.

I am once again the DD (Designated Driver) and this time.... I accept it without pressure. lol

...... but da amn..... I can smell the munchies and booze.

Usually they ask you to fast 8 hours to 10 ..

best is sleep early and get up and go to the clinic as early you can

I say "fuck you!" to ever tells me to fast and do lots of drugs. Admittedly, it's dangerous and I wouldn't recomend it but it's worked great for me for a few decades. :thumbup

I try to go to bed early when I fast for blood tests.

 

[dkwrtw]

I just try to sleep through it.

I read.

I'm not in the habit of eating after dinner anyway, so it wouldn't be too difficult.

my dad couldnt eat after nine today for an ultrasound tomorrow. i got him some italian junk he could finish up before nine then ate leftovers in front of him.

That's usually the way... or when you are craving something that's what happens as well...


I hope it went well and you are no longer starving hun.

i normally try not to eat after 8 and usually eat around 6 with nothing else until next morning. Though even if im starving the night before i dont often feel like eating when i wake up. I do often eat at 6pm then wont eat untill after 12 the following afternoon. I have terrible eating habbits. so yea. i could fast quite easily i think. Though maybe if i was told i could not have it id want it more :/

Okay.... Here's how it went...

I arrived to the hospital at 7:15 a.m. Only one person in front of me waiting for testing. I was called to go with the nurse at 7:30 a.m. She was very nice and the same nurse I had last time I went.... about 3 months ago.

We chatted while she did the paperwork prior to the blood draw. About the weather (getting hot and more so for the week to come) and insurance, work, the usual. (Hubby was with me so we couldn't discuss sex per usual. lol)

Anywho.... She let me choose the arm to draw from. And I can't watch so I just looked about the room and watched hubby watch her take my blood. Took several minutes. I was wondering how much she needed and then by the time I was beginning to wonder.... she was finished.

Then.... Get this.... She told me I was dehydrated! Said she really had a time getting my blood. Insisted that I drink a cup of water before I left the hospital. I promised her that we were going to go to breakfast as we had planned and she told me to make sure I drank a full glass of water there too.

I did.

But I had to do some major shopping at Home Depot and Lowe's after breakfast while we were in town. That's when things got icky. We went into Home Depot and were there for maybe 30 minutes before I started feeling really funky.

Did I mention that I am Diabetic?

Anywho.... after pricing some items to comparison shop at Lowe's and paying for my new Star Lily Plant (a beautiful rich purplish red one)... we immediately drove to McDonald's where I bought a large size Sprite. I downed about 1/4 of it and then we went to Lowe's.

Spent about 90 minutes shopping and getting the things we wanted. The store was warm and again.... I was feeling icky.

Got to the car and downed most of the now warm Sprite (yuck!) and headed back home. I drank a glass of water and sat in the air conditioning and took a nap. I'm now feeling much better.
