Mine was *technically* a few bites of applesauce and apple juice, but the first real food I ate was an amazing turkey sandwich from the hospital cafe, of all places!
Seriously, it was awesome. Freshly made, multi-grain wheat bread, oven roasted turkey, thick slices of tomato, romaine lettuce, brie cheese, garlic aioli and whole grain mustard. It was amazing. I still think about it almost 20 months later!

A giant container of pasta! Haha...I had GD, and avoided pasta and most carbs as soon as I found out. The night LO was born, I made DH run out to the local pizza shop and get me chicken franchaise with loads of pasta, and Rita's Italian Ice for dessert. Heavenly.

@lovehoneybee: omg my mouth is watering!
Mine was a boxed lunch from the hospital. A very dry chicken salad sandwich, and a few other things, I think apple sauce and chips and a piece of fruit? I can't even remember but it was the most delicious thing ever because I hadn't eaten in more than 36 hours!

@lovehoneybee: that actually does sound good.
Technically, it was a very dry turkey sandwich, chips and oreos since the nurse swiped me the last of the boxed lunches (DD was born at 1:05), but when it was up to me - it was a cheese pizza, with sides of mac and cheese and a caesar salad from the hospital cafe that night!

Hospital food--I'm pretty sure it was baked chicken, rice, and steamed veggies. I sent DH out to get Chick-Fil-A a couple of hours later

Turkey sandwich with sprouts, tomato, sharp cheddar and bacon! I missed deli sandwiches, a great deal. Our birth center's kitchen was really wonderful, too.

Right after delivery, it was fruit and a sandwich from the cooler in the ice chip/snacks room for dads and partners. The more memorable meal was later in the day when friends visited. It was Jimmy Johns. I still remember how awesome that meal was.

Some meal they brought to my room in the hospital- I vaguely remember mashed potatoes and some kind of meat- but I was super drugged up b/c of my retained placenta.

Right after delivery it was a boring dry turkey sandwich and apple juice. Then breakfast was oatmeal, fruit, a muffin, coffee and scrambled eggs from the hospital cart.

First time I had pancakes eggs and bacon, second time... gosh I was so drugged from the c/s that I can't really remember. Not much I would guess?

A sandwich made up of two dry pieces of wheat bread with a sliver of turkey and a cup of pear slices. Most. Amazing. Meal. Ever. I seriously gobbled that thing up like I was in a five star restaurant.

With DS it was some calabash chicken and fries.
With S it was a burger from Wendy's dollar menu (thanks MIL...I wasn't so thrilled with that lol)
This time it'll be something good.

We ordered Turkey hoagies to be delivered from a local sandwich shop and I had the nurse store it in their fridge. That was more motivation to push her out then getting to meet my baby

DH smuggled in a sprite for me when I was in recovery after my C-section. My meal was clear broth and first solid food was sushi (spicy crunchy tuna).

Technically a "bagel" that was the size of an English muffin the afternoon after delivery. But we did takeout from a sandwich place up the street that has awesome hot pita stuffed goodness. I got one with spinach, melted cheese, artichokes, tomato and basil with a root beer, and DH and I shared baked onion rings and a chocolate shake. I was FAMISHED!

Hehe so much turkey! Those that had turkey sandwiches, did you abstain from deli meat when you were pregnant?
I had one turkey sandwich once while I was pregnant, but overall I had a meat aversion.
I was so hungry by the time I was finally allowed to eat that cardboard probably would have been tasty! (But seriously, my sandwich was legit amazing!)

Chicken strips and fries from the hospital cafeteria. It was surprisingly delicious. I ordered it for every lunch and dinner after that. Lol

A spicy chicken from Wendy's. And fries! I got into recovery late so the cafeteria wasn't open. I told DH he was not allowed to leave me for more than 20 minutes. Wendy's was across the street! It was fantastic.

I have no idea! I *think* I ordered a big breakfast with pancakes etc. I vividly remember my second meal though - a turkey club with cranberry sauce on wheatberry bread, with chicken tortilla soup. Yummy!

Mac n cheese and green beans at 6 am. It was that or a turkey sandwich as the cafeteria wasn't open yet.

IHOP. I had been craving it so badly, had an overnight stay in the hospital to test for protein in my urine & was told no eating past midnight in case I needed to be induced. I went into labor on my own that night & LO was born until 4 pm so I was ravenous! My dad went out & brought me the most delicious IHOP meal & I had to pace myself so I wouldn't eat it too fast & throw up

With DD I think it was supposed to be beef stroganoff - my delivery nurse swiped it from a food cart for me. DD arrived at 4:54 and by the time they were done cleaning me up it was shift change. She was awesome because she refused to let them move me before I ate something and ended up staying late so I could. I was so hungry I ate it even without really knowing what it was.
With DS I think it was Panera because he was born at 10:43AM and I made DH go out and get me food as soon as we were settled in our PP room.
