The thing I hated most about my hospital stay was the food they gave me. I had high-protein lactaid milk with Vanilla Carnation Instant Breakfast (CIB). I thought it tasted like cake icing (the extra nauseating sweet kind)... and I just couldn't drink it.
So my food intake consisted of very little CIB and the watered down juice (apple & cranberry) I was allowed to have and Jello.
I think that's why my doc asked me if I wanted to go home 2 days early (even though I had an open RNY)... because he felt I'd do better at home, and at least, eat at home.
When he asked, I perked up. Because not only was the food intolerable, so were the beds. But that's probably because I developed a butt-ache problem in recent months and the bed was very difficult to take, even under morphine! I spent day 2 lying on a water heated heating pad.
Rest in a hospital... no such thing. I kept wanting to nap, they kept wanting me to walk!
