You end up in a hospital, you are ill and they serve you pure crap. Greasy, cheap, high sodium, transfat laden foods. I am totally convinced that if a hospital opened up that served organic healthy meals that people would recoop much faster.

Maybe they don't want to to get too healthy...bad for business, no return customers!

The Salmon they Might do but none of the others, Saved1986; I always wonder
where the Nutritionists are hiding - they're surely Not in the kitchen! Gummy, goopy
oatmeal that looks/tastes like wallpaper paste used to be the usual breakfast fare.
Anything more appetising is NOT in their budget!
They will not do wild salmon, just farm raised. You can bet there is some MBA cost cutting at every step. One day last summer they brought my father dinner, we tood the cover off the plate and my mom and I just staired at the plate. I then uttered "what the F is that?". (It was like creamed spinach over rice; I think). Usually I was bringing him healthy stuff, but on that day he looked at it and asked me to go to Wendy's and get him a burger. I did.
A friend of the family is in the hospital and she is getting better, but losing weight. The surgery made her lose weight but she is from Greece and cannot eat that crap either.
In April, grandson has to go in for his first surgury... Since he is allergic to cows milk and soy is not good for him, we chose to give him raw goats milk as his formula since he was three months old... He has thrived really really well.... But in order for us to take him his goats milk into the hospital, we have to have the doctor write an order that that is allowed.
So qustion... if pinapple will help prevent blood clots, if my grandson has platelette issues, we probably should make sure he doesnt get pinapple between now and then???? What other things should we give or not give in preparation for surgury.... He will be having an external rod attached to both arms to stretch tendons in his hands to prepare him for the next surgury.

Raw pineapple will thin the blood. For surgery, I would give him a little vitamin C and maybe a chewable vitamin daily for a couple days before.
Saved, thats what I was thinking, the raw pineapple will thin the blood... grandson has TAR syndrome... Thrombocytopenia absent radius syndrome (sp??)... long words for his body wasnt making platelettes, and he is missing the radius bones on both arms... He has been holding his own on the platelette issue since he was 6 months old (keep wondering if the goats milk or the probiotics helped that) But he still has low numbers compared to the normal 2 year old. If he starts bleeding it could be ugly.... So we dont want to thin the blood out anymore then it already is....
How much vitamin C should a 2 year old take? I was giving him the emergenC mix in an 8 ounce bottle, but the red food dye in it caused him to speed out of control. And I keep wondering if that was too much... it has like 1000 mg of C.
I just visited someone recently in the hospital and she had two desserts!
That also makes me think of jello and what a sad twisted representation of gelatin it is. You know, the real gelatin from bones that is a healing food and easy to digest and should be what's fed to people in hospital (from animals raised right of course).

2 year old? I would go more by weight. Assuming an adult should get 1000 mg a day, I would say he should be getting in the 10 mg per pound range.
If you are going ahead with the surgery then don't give him any vitamin C for 2 days before. The reason being the C will neutralize the anesthetic and it will be difficult for him to go under. You can however give him the C immediately after.
I jut got an email article this morning from my son-in-law saying
that fruits and fruit juices should always be eaten/drank first and
before any other foods, for them to work best in our systems.
Always on an EMPTY Stomach! I didn't know this before. It
has something to do with better digestion of all foods consumed.
Let me get this straight! (hospital food)
Hospital food!
