[QUOTE="Chook, post: 1591722, member: 24561"] That's okay if you are only in for a day or two but not if you're in hospital for any length of time. When I was in hospital for a fairly lengthy stay I found the food absolutely dreadful - I ended up asking my husband to bring in food for me every day - bags of salad and packs of cold meats or a hot rotisserie chicken - and thats how I survived. I know a low carb diet must be more difficult to cater for but it is possible with a little consideration. Apart from our particular problem I do find hospital food in general to be dreadful. My last stay was on a cancer ward (thankfully it turned out I didn't have it) but the other women there were in a bad way - some of them having had major operations or various therapies that completely took away their appetites - what they needed was nice flavourful food at the proper temperature - what they got was part cooked (or over cooked) mainly tepid food that didn't tempt them at all. I am a hundred per cent sure that the food was detrimental to their recovery. [/QUOTE]
