Question: Should I eat breakfast before or not? Will I be able to work normally the rest of the day?

Any experiences from you would be appreciated.

You can eat breakfast, in fact I would recommend it. You may become a little drowsy and slightly pale afterward, if you get dizzy afterward sit down immediately. It will pinch a little bit at first but after that it's completely painless and simple. After you're finished giving blood make sure you drink some orange juice or something and eat something small.
Other than that just know that before you donate they'll probably take your blood pressure, temperature, do a finger prick to make sure you're not anemic, ask you a few questions about tattoos, sexual partners, STD's, allergies etc, and then allow you to donate as long as all of that comes back satisfactorily to them.
just stay calm it does pinch a little but other than that it is easy
not give to dr.ackular
Eat breakfast. They will keep you for a bit after and give you cookies and juice and monitor you for any adverse effects.
Just plan on taking it easy for a half hour or so. Also, start drinking lots of water. You'll be able to go back to work.
Congrats on your first donation! It's a wonderful thing to do. I hope this is the first of many.
You will feel a little light headed afterwards,they will give you a cookie and some orange juice.
Sometimes it is better not to eat to much but just have a snack and then eat after but if you're planning on giving again (which I hope you do ) you could start testing different things that work for you. You should be fine the rest of the day just, it really depends on you body type and may very with the kind of day you are having.
all u need to do is eat a good breakfast & then go do it & they will tell u to lay down for a few minutes so u don't faint & if u r in good health then don't worry ok? u r doing a great thing by donating blood. i think that they will give u o-j (orange juice) to help your blood sugar & u will be able to go to work for the rest of your day. bb, hope i was of some help to u? nobrethequeen
There is no wrong thing to do so dont sweat the little things.And yes you can go back to work after an hour.
you shoould def. eat breakfast. Breakfast is important for your blood.
You should be fine after you donate for the rest of the day.
i have never donated, but i kno through my freinds that you mighht feel a lil dizzy if you havent eat- so eat!!!
i havent donaed because i have anemia which basically means my blood does not have enough iron.
but i appreciate ou donating n everyone else because ppl who donated saved my life- i had a tranfusion 3 months ago A+.

if you have gotten a tatoo within the last year forget it.
Eat something before going.
and then relax.
Generally, it's harder for women to give blood than men---it's harder on your system because your body is smaller, and there's less blood - and- women can easily be anemic.
Get the biggest meal you can before going in there, a good solid breakfast.
No matter what you do, it may make you "woozy", but that won't last too long.
Make sure you eat before you go. I cannot give blood because I have a mediterranian blood disease (too much iron).
