Food at Florence Hospital



Recommended Posts

I was curious for those of you that were sleeved at florence, what kind of food was available for your support person at the hospital? Was it all Mexican food or was there also American food options available? Thank you!!

florence Oasis prides itself on fresh, organic, vegan food. My hubby really loved it but still had to step out and find a McDonalds :) It wasn't all traditional Mexican but more what you would find at a Cafe Gratitude-type place. Hope that helps!

The cafeteria is not at all what you'd imagine in comparison to a US hospital cafeteria. It's run by a particular segment of the hospital, so it's all vegan. My support person didn't eat there not because of the food but because the hours were really specific and not convenient for when she was hungry. Depending on how adventurous they are (the area is perfectly safe and I'd have done it), they could walk a couple of blocks to grab something easy. Or, if you have a coordinator, they might be able to help out in picking up food.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
