sf, I was in the hospital twice last year. I was able to eat whatever I
wanted. At the second hospital, they had a totally different menu called
heart healthy. There wasn't much of anything I would eat on there. Not
even a hamburger. I was told to have someone bring food in for me.

Now the difference would be if one just had an operation and could only have
liquids or soft foods or whatever. That didn't apply to me. And one of the
hospitals that my dad was in did limit the amount of carbs that a diabetic
could have. They did allow him to eat food that was brought in though. So
that limit was only on what came from their kitchen. And that limit was
pretty high.
