Having a sleeve in hospital is hard.

There is not much I can eat.

I'm finding myself hungry but cant stomach anything here

I'll just have a few bites of the spinach goo and I often ask them to bring me the tiny blocks of cheese.

I usually have the rice and curry and just eat the curry sauce but gets boring.

2 bites for each meal no wonder I've got not energy.

I'm three months in. Nothing is appealing to me.

I asked because it all looked pureed. They need to step up the food options in that kitchen because that looks awful. I'm sorry about the awful choices.

Oh ick! I'm sorry! Can your friends or family bring you some outside food? Or some things to keep in the fridge in the lounge?

When my mom was at a major medical center their options were varied and tasty but at a local one not so much. But like you she was there a while with no dietary restrictions so they let us keep stuff for her to eat in the family lounge fridge.

i asked about that they dont have a fridge in the day room anyway lol i am in the ghetoest part of the hospital if that is a word, but they said they dont want me to eat food from outside something about contamination? they said they dont want me to end up getting something from food from outside that is not monitered or something what they said didnt even make any sense. because a lady brought me stuff from the ward i was on before so i dont see how thats not contamination? i coulnt eat it anyway , my guest who visit me have to wear gloves as they dont want me to catch anything to make me more unwell as they are trying to get me fit for this chonolocopy and other stuff. i can tell you if anyone came in here fat they wont even need surgery haha you wil leave here skinny because i have tried to order different things on the menue it sometimes looks like vomit.

i sneaked of the ward when i wasnt so bad about 3 days ago but the head nurse brought me back as they saw me on cctv lol i cant even get outside for fresh air lol its like prison i tell you i look forward to the most grossest runniest scrambled egg in the morning as i cant eat toast which is what they usually offer so i should be greatful lol

thank you so much for the suggestion though its a good one as i know other people not in side rooms are allowed all kinds of nice food to be brought in! lucky people lol

Can someone bring you some Protein based Snacks that don't require refrigeration, I'm thinking like beef Jerky, nuts, protein chips, Protein Bars or shakes and they can wipe the packaging down with alcohol to prevent contamination before it goes in your room and then you can keep them in your room? I've never seen a hospital that doesn't allow a person to bring in food or snacks that isn't on a special diet. You might have to get firm with them that you need the added protein

[jess9395 5,449]

Wow that's rough!

I agree be firm with them. They should have Protein Shakes of some sort available at least. Even if it's just ensure. If they want you to have the strength to fight whatever's up they need to give you something you can swallow.
