What was yours?

I ordered something from the hospital cafeteria, but it was so gross I barely ate it. I had Jimmy Johns sandwich right after, and then for dinner I had a sushi feast

Breakfast - a Panera asiago bagel with cream cheese, and a large hazelnut coffee.

My hospital food was SO GOOD! They have a special chef just for the maternity floor. Unfortunately, I have no idea what I got and I barely ate anything because I felt like sh!t after hemorrhaging and having a blood transfusion and not sleeping.

But I do remember eating a delicious creme brulee they served me a few days later!

I ordered something from the cafeteria too. I was starving. I ate a cereal bar on the way to the hospital and so glad that is all I had on my stomach because I threw it up. My first meal was a chicken sandwich and fries. The hospital food was actually really good. I was fed meals even when C was in the NICU and I was in a private room.

I wasn't allowed to really eat until I pooped. lol so I had Italian ice. I was still really nauseated for about a week after I gave birth, I was the whole pregnancy so I had nothing fun.

What kind of food is Jimmy Johns?

AshleyDG83 · August 2012

She was born at 6:20, so my only option was a sandwich and chips. I was starving since I hadn't eaten since the night before. I had DH run out and get some Wendy's when I got up to my room.

Only the best sandwiches ever!

ETA: I guess it would be comparable to Jersey Mike's or maybe Subway?

I googled the menu. I want Jimmy Johns! None in my area. Womp womp.

miniray · August 2012

I was on a clear fluids diet after my c-section, but my first real meal was McDonald's, and it was delicious.

Boo! Mine's really close, they even deliver

SteelCity44 · August 2012

It's such a blur that I don't remember. I was so disoriented in recovery and everything made me nauseous for the first few days. I had a "liquid" dinner the evening after my c/s. The whole experience was nothing like I'd expected. Sad

Luvmy2sons · August 2012

I ordered breakfast at the hospital, french toast. The nurses kept asking me if it was sausage. It was awful! But the hashbrowns were amazing!! Then my parents brought DH and i hoagies for dinner!

::whispers:: come to Texas. I will stuff you full of Jimmy John's and What A Burger.

I had McAlister's

Ladybug32110 · August 2012

DONUTS!! and chocolate milk! My in-laws stopped at the donut store at 4am on the way to see me! D was born at 2:28am. I also had half of DH's egg and bacon sandwich because I needed protein since I hadn't eaten in 40 hours!

hass2001 · August 2012

I think the hospital cafeteria had macaroni and cheese and I totally ate it because I was famished. Then I had DH go out and get pizza and I ate that too.

Harper'smom · August 2012

Del Taco because DH really wanted to since it was in the center of the birth center and our doula went and got it for us. I felt a little strange drinking a Mr. Pibb and eating a fast food burrito in that crunchy mecca of health.

Kdrake8 · August 2012

A turkey sandwich and coke. I labored from 330a - 1030p. They didn't know when I'd have DD so they saved me a lunch. When i got into my actual hospital room at 1am, they brought it to me. I was never so happy for food.

gisa886 · August 2012

Burp

PinkPeony6210 · August 2012

Breakfast provided by the hospital. It wasn't that bad.

imimahoney · August 2012

The hospital food was actually pretty good!

C/S was at 11 pm so my first meal was bfast- I had bacon, egg and cheese bagel sandwich with homefries.

lauranicole91 · August 2012

Oh man. Mine is kind of funny. I was so hungry thanks to a 22 hour induction process. They let my have a little cereal around 7am(half way through) but that was it. When I started pushing at 4pm I was SO excited that I was going to get to order dinner from the cafeteria. I was totally craving a sub sandwich of some sort.

Well I didn't expect to push for 2.5hours and have the cafeteria close at 6pm. I was so pissed. One of the nurses ran off and found me a turkey sandwich though. After I scarfed it down and chugged a guilt free diet coke I got to thinking. The turkey sandwich she brought me was just wrapped in saran wrap and in a white paper bag. I am kind of questioning whether she just found it in the breakroom or something...Haha.

Oh well, it was delicious!

bellablue2 · August 2012

Rice, beans and yummy ass salsa from my favorite local mexican restaurant.

jkfranklin · August 2012

I was so hungry but they wouldn't let me eat for like 2 hour later. The cafeteria was closed so they heated me up some soup and brought me a turkey sandwich. I took 1 bite of the sandwich and puked all over myself. I really didn't feel like eating much for a week after. Completely different with DS.

rebeccajmiller1 · August 2012

For some reason, even after 18 hours of labor after they induced me, I wasnt hungry AT ALL. I didn't eat until about 6 hours after delivery when a friend brought me a sandwich and reminded me that I should probably eat...it was delicious though.

erniebufflo · August 2012

I can't remember which came first, a pizza or a panini. There's a really good cafe in the lobby of our hospital.

nikki.rzez · August 2012

I don't remember. I know it was breakfast...Cheerios, orange juice and toast w/ jelly I think? My first non-hospital food meal I had (I ate it while still in the hospital) was a Tendercrisp sandwich and fries from Burger King! Yummm.

SKWCM80 · August 2012

I had a turkey sandwich, cookies, and cottage cheese w/ fruit.

starshollow · August 2012

I was on a liquid diet the day after the c section. Then when I was able to order they told me to take it easy. The hospital foos wasn't bad. I consider my first real meal to be the first one at home. A platter of sashimi.

nicolelaroche · August 2012

I had a c-section, so probably broth or jello. When I was able to eat real food, I made H get me a burrito bowl from Chipotle.

Tambcat · August 2012

Well, they brought me a breakfast tray in the delivery room w/o asking what I wanted or anything. I think it was bacon, toast, and eggs. I didn't really care at that point - I just wanted to eat all the things.

I think I ordered lunch from the hospital cafeteria too.. I don't even remember what I had.

Then that night, I had a club sandwich w/ potato salad, which I had been craving for oh the last 25 weeks or so.

dojo1 · August 2012

I ate nothing but hospital food during my four day stay. It was good!

Post birth I enjoyed cold fish sticks left from lunch with potatoes and corn, I think. I shared this meal with my 2 year old niece who I adore and who adores me and always wants what Auntie Dee Dee has.

sharrison88 · August 2012

I wasn't very hungry after my induction either, but everyone kept hounding me about eating. My sister went to get McDonald's for DH, so she brought me back nuggets. I ate half of them. When the nurse found out that's what I ate, she made me feel so lame. She said she had her DH go get calzones and cannolis after her delivery.

metucker · August 2012

A huge bag of peanut M&ms while I was waiting for my dad to bring breakfast. They were soo good.

How can you compare the awesomeness of Jimmy John's to wimpy Subway sandwiches??

I know my first meal was hospital breakfast, but honestly, I can't remember a single thing I ate until I had a Jimmy John's roast beef sub that evening. I may have had a Tim Horton's donut somewhere in there, but the sub is what sticks out in my mind.

beth6287 · August 2012

I had blueberry pancakes and sausage and scrambled eggs and juice and coffee.

I was starving, I had him Sunday morning and the last time I had eaten was Friday afternoon.

MsCat19 · August 2012

Tres tacos!

danandbethg · August 2012

Mine was terrible. I was a c-section, so I hadn't eaten in 24 hours by the time I got my food. The nurse ordered food for me, without any input from me. Now, I work at this hospital...I know what to get and what to avoid. I got ice cold powdered scambled eggs (that normally give me terrible diarrhea), ice cold potatos, bacon (which I hate) and some fresh fruit and coffee. Thank goodness I wasn't really hungry, cuz only the fruit was edible. DH had the bacon and coffee.

AudreyB113 · August 2012

The hospital food was so good! I loved it! I had a biscuit w/ jelly, bacon, eggs, bagel w/ cream cheese, and orange juice. This was just the standard breakfast, but the hospital had a special cafeteria just for the maternity ward.

MrsE05 · August 2012

I really don't remember. I think it was breakfast the hospital provided. I really wasn't hungry at all. In fact I had zero appetite until about two weeks PP. it was awful- I knew I had to eat especially bc I was BFing but I just couldn't.
