I already told DH that I would like him to bring me some things that I haven't been able to eat due to pregnancy. So far on the list is a sub with lots of deli meat, a hot fudge sundae from McDonalds, and a huge diet coke. I also might add a latte from Starbucks to the list 
What did you eat post-delivery?

I've told DH we're going through McDonald's drive-thru on the way home (at the birth center you go home 4-6 hours after delivering) to get soft serve ice cream. It's non-negotiable.

Well I ended up having a c-section and by the time I was out of recovery I was so worked up from DD being in the NICU that I did not eat and only chugged a bunch of water (22 hours without anything to drink is too long!) I finally ate like 28 hours after last eating and had french toast, eggs, fruit, and bacon and a huge diet dr. pepper, it was delicious!

@yellowbird: I ate graham crackers too
I had zero interest in food and had to be reminded to eat until about 2 weeks post partum.

I ordered a small Hawaiian pizza from a really good pizza chain, Gabriel's, all to myself. YUM.

Once they got me into the post-partum ward, it was after lunch but too soon for dinner. They found a left-over chicken lunch that tasted so good! About an hour after I ate the dining staff brought me dinner.

Midnight In-N-Out burger, it was one of the best burgers I've ever had! I hadn't felt like eating all day, so I was starving.

Breakfast. I think it was blueberry pancakes and a yogurt. Eating was not a priority for me.

@lawbee11: haha ours are very similar!
Old Fashioned Assorted (ham, salami & Cappicola) with lettuce, tomato and banana peppers from Dibellas, a ICE COLD glass of Coke and a cup of coffee! Well that's what I requested from my husband but what I actually ate immediately after delivery was chicken stewed made by my mom. Then he snuck those in after he took my mom back to the house. She would have killed me for eating cold stuff!

I had a turkey/cheese wrap, a roast beef/cheese sandwich, a cup of veggie soup and a homemade pudding cup. #postpartumpig

I had a c section, so I could only have liquids for practically the whole day. I did get to have real dinner, though, and my BIL brought me a steak, baked potato and broccoli from Longhorn Steakhouse.

I delivered in time to get hospital breakfast, it was some of the best food I had ever eaten - cereal, eggs, bacon, milk, juice, and fruit.

I wasn't allowed to eat for like 6 hours post-delivery, and because I had thrown up so much during L&D I was really nervous to put real food in my stomach so I started with a cup of applesauce and a little bowl of mac and cheese from the hospital cafeteria--I think I managed two bites of it.
A few hours later I was finally hungry for real food and sent DH out to find me a sandwich or burger. It was like 1am and there wasn't much open around where we were so I wasn't going to be picky. Luckily the cafe in the hospital has take-out food available 24/7 so he brought me back the most incredible turkey sandwich, I seriously don't think I've ever had a better sandwich. I still daydream about it.

Right after delivery, they had fruit and cranberry juice for me. My hospital pushed food on me right away. It was from the room where they had the ice chips. My husband visited that room a few times during the night. My husband also pushed it on me, but I was way too nauseous to eat anything significant for a few hours later.
Our first guests that day brought us Jimmy John's. It was so good. The next night, I had crappy hospital food. Their's is supposed to be good, but I didn't like the chicken pot pie. On the way home from the hospital, we stopped at Portillo's. I had a chicken cheddar croissant. It seriously was the best thing I ever ate post delivery. I loved that sandwich way more than the Jimmy John's.

After dd, if it's day time, Publix is right across the street from the birth center and I really want one of their boars head roast beef subs! And sushi!

Right after I had a ham sandwich. It was so good. Then I ate tilapia, rice, and some other veggie.

I want a caesar salad for sure! Not sure what else since I've been eating pretty normally despite the no-no list. Everything in moderation right from a reputable place right?

I've already told DH that there had better be a large Speedway Coke Freeze and a pepperoni sandwich from Penn Station. Speedway is open 24/7, but I could wait a few hours if needed on that particular sandwich.

Nothing. I had to be monitored after delivery because I had a hemmhorage. I didn't eat until 12 hours later. It was chicken and veggies and it was good.

Meatloaf with gravy mashed potatoes, peas and carrots and where bread and a fruit crisp that the hospital brought me. It was the most delicious disgusting meal I've ever eaten, bc I hadn't had anything since a banana around 530 am and t was after midnightthe next day.
I still haven't had oysters or a Bella's two hearted ale yet...and L will be 6 Wks old on Monday.

I didn't really abstain from any foods during pregnancy, so there wasn't anything that I was looking forward to or planned to have. About an hour into my induction I started to get really, really hungry, and from that point on, all I could think about was the burger I wanted afterwards. When it was time to push, one of the first things I said was, "YES! BURGER TIME SOON!" As soon as they cleaned me up & helped me pee, I sent someone out for a burger & sweet tea from Wendy's!

I don't remember what I had the morning after I delivered - blueberry muffin? DH brought me a hot coffee with cream and sugar (coffee made me so sick pregnant) and cupcakes from my favorite bakery.

A chocolate cherry cupcake and a cup of smores hot chocolate. They hadn't wanted me to eat anything because of my nausea after the c section but I sent DH to get stuff anyway and damn, it was good!

A cheeseburger cooked MEDIUM! It was yummy, and I was excited to eat meat that was not well done.
