  1. so much for hoping weightloss would make my blood draws easier (I've always had a hard time getting blood work drawn, iv's started etc). Had my usual phlebotomist this morning and she said my veins are the worst they've ever been. couldn't even finish the blood draw - didn't even get half the vials she needed. So back to the lab tomorrow morning. ugh

      how are you doing with your fluids? that always makes a difference for me. my veins are apparently pretty deep - and difficult enough that the red cross once told me it was nice of me to donate every blood drive at work, but it slows them down from getting to other people so to please not.

      i purposefully forced myself to get in close to 80oz yesterday because of the blood draw today. sigh...hopefully tomorrow will be easier

      i also have bad little veins, they roll and are very deep. i expected blood draw would be much easier after losing a lot of weight - didn't happen to me either sob sob - i also drink extra extra water before blood draw to possibly help - good luck - kathy
