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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
