When my husband was in the hospial for by-pass surgery we had the same problem 
with their food.  It made him terribly sick and he wouldn't eat the week he was 
in the hospital.  He was loosing weight and getting weak.  Once home he ate 
like a pig and no I didn't use their diet.  He got lots of good veggies from 
the garden and real meat (chicken, beef, & pork), nothing synthetic.  I'm not 
happy about the meds they have him on but I can't decide that for him.  He will 
have to decide what he wants to take.  I can only tell him about what I've read.
 
Hospital food will kill you!
