What did you eat..the most of in the hospital????

[slprncess]

When I woke up from surgery in recovery I was so hungry. I asked my nurse if i could have anything to eat and at first he said no but he did give me ice chips. Then a few hours later I asked him for something to eat again and he brought me some saltine crackers. Finally I got into my room at midnight and the dumb nurse that i had for the night shift was not nice and didnt let me have any more saltine crackers. Then the next day i was on liquid diet and by the 2nd day I was on soft foods then solid foods from there. By the time I could eat solid foods i had no appatite. I think it was all the pain meds just made me so nauseous. I had the nurse give me a shot for nausea which helped a little.
When i came home i really didnt eat much just little bits of things. I tried to eat little bits many times a day so i didnt get sick from the meds or lose anymore weight. Already 105lbs as it is. cant afford to lose too much weight.

I can remember my hubby and the nurses trying to coax me to eat and entice me with offers of ice cream, jello, etc. I only wanted something cool and light to drink for a long time... then i starting wanting something dry and kinda salty so i asked for Goldfish.... those little cheesy crackers that shaped like fish... i would have gladly lived on them and 7-ups exclusively... when i finally started eating real food again, it only took about a third of a serving to fill me up... the good thing was i lost about 25 lbs... wish it had STAYED away...lol

I LOVED THE SPONGE!!!!! In the first few days following surgery whenever I did wake up (if you can call it waking up), all I really ever said to anyone was, "Can I please have the sponge?" and then I'd suck every drop of water out of that sponge! I lived for the sponge in those first few days! My wonderful husband...that was his job, to sponge my lips and give me "a drink" of water via the sponge.....

LMAO, same here! LOVED the cold, icy drops and wanted more even if the nurse looked at me like I was some freak Hubby got fed up at some point though, and put it RIGHT next to my bed...
