Could I Be Put In Hospital Currently In Recovery For Anorexia I

What do hospitals feed anorexic patients?

I was inpatient for 6 weeks at the end of last year and 2 weeks at the start of this year. Patients were required to have 3 meals and 3 snacks. We were fortunate enough to have an excellent kitchen so food wasn’t that bad (not gourmet but reasonably good). Our meals looked something like this:Breakfast: 1 - 1.5 cups of cereal with 1 cup of full cream milk - no low fat milk allowed, OR 2 pieces of toast with protein such as eggs or a glass of milk, OR porridge and a glass of milk (it was cooked in water). Some people had a piece of fruit also depending on their meal plan.Morning snack: was 1 or 2 items according to dietician set meal plan. Typically a piece of fruit and then a protein/calcium option such as nuts, yogurt, muesli bar, trail mix, protein ball, up and go etc.Lunch: either a hot meal (1/3 protein, 1/3 carbohydrates, 1/3 vegetables) OR a sandwich with protein and veggies OR a wrap with protein and veggies. Some had a piece of fruit also.Afternoon tea: 1 or 2 items according to dietician set meal plan. both of protein/calcium type.Dinner: hot meal with 1/3 protein 1/3 carbohydrate and 1/3 vegetables.Supper: 1 or 2 items according to dietician set meal plan. both usually of protein or calcium variety.If someone couldn’t finish a meal or a snack or didn’t want to attempt it they could opt to have the equivalent in a fortisip (a meal supplement). If you were on the ‘refeeding’ plan it was 1 fortisip, if you were on the standard meal plan it was 2.Other rules that applied:1 glass of water at every meal (this could be replaced with a hot drink at snack times)no hot drinks until after water and meal are complete (except at snack times)Fruit cut up into no more than 6 pieces2 sauce packages only1 salt and 1 pepper sachet onlyMust complete all food on plateNo napkins on the tableMeals were supervised by the nurses/therapistsBed rest after meals for 1hr (30 mins after snacks)
