hey squirrel friends, i’m back! kinda.. 🙈 missy had a brain boo boo 🧠⚡️ that required me to be admitted and monitored for a couple days. here’s a log of all the meals the hospital fed me! 👇

i must’ve been their first vegan to be admitted because the nurses had never even heard of a “vegan diet” 😳 even the admitting doctor was worried that i had possible deficiencies! 🫢 ..but we’ll get into that.. 😉

night 1! ..they didn’t feed me 🥹 but luckily @m1tch9i who accompanied and stayed by my side throughout my admission got me a #salad from the raw kitchen 🥗 so.. onto the real stuff 😋

my first meal was a pairing of #noodles with some choy sum and #mushrooms 🍄 not a bad start! for lunch, a disproportionate serving of white rice to a serving of mixed vegetables and #tempeh cooked with cabbage 🥬 they even gave me a cup of #soymilk! not a bad amount of #protein for a first shot 🙌 i’d imagine they’d regularly otherwise serve vegetarians here #egg instead 🤮 the next 2 though? no wonder they’d think i’d have deficiencies 😵 a serving of rice with just vegetables, not particularly #iron rich either, plus some very basic porridge 🥣 on my final day, i got some #friedtempeh for lunch and another meal of Just Vegetables™ with a #mushroom + long bean concoction 🪄 phew, what a list!

overall i’m impressed with the hospital’s effort to accommodate my diet, even if clearly they weren’t having the easiest time 😅 on several occasions per standard procedure they gave me a plain cup of powdered milo for patients to fix themselves up a hot drink ☕️ why are we serving this sugary garbage in hospitals again..? ah, tv propaganda.. how you’ve misled so many malaysians 🫠

after 7 blood draws.. 🩸 the only deficiency i apparently had was.. 🥁 sodium! 🤦‍♀️ the stupid suffrage of having half dutch tastebuds i swear.

considering my baseline from how i used to be before i adopted a plant-based diet 🌱 i’m incredibly pleased with how positive my blood-work came out 🧪 who knew a life of abstaining from cruelty could be so rewarding to your health 🤭

the last photo is a bunch of #flowers i got sent to by @vikas and my wonderful coworkers at @abillion10 ☺️ i don’t think i’ve ever received a #bouquet quite so wonderful before! my entire living room smells gorgeous now 🤩 pearly the #cat can’t seem to get enough of it either! you’ve all been incredibly supportive and kind over the course of my recovery ❤️‍🩹 i couldn’t wish for a better group of people to work with ✌️ especially @davnil who kindly even accompanied me to the ER 😇

have you ever been admitted to a #hospital while vegan? 🥑 what was your experience? 😄✍️

oshmorethstorm Just heard another article on a study that mentions more protein equals less depression, I keep forgetting that but I know I’m way more happy when I eat tempeh and other plant proteins.4 likesReply

animaladvocat I am so glad to finally read from you ! As usual I was too afraid to ask anyone but you were missed dearly and I am truly grateful you’re back 🫶

My Mum was in hospital several times since she went completely vegan. The Doctors were always amazed how quickly her Body is healing (she is 81) and asked her what she’s eating 😍.
I know many Muslims have problems when they go vegan so I am so very happy that her Doctors who are all non vegan Muslims were very pleased to learn that a woman her age is far healthier than most others her age & with same Illnesses. Food … they try but I always brought Mum our Food anyway.


I hopefully don’t have to go to hospital. That’ll be no fun for no one 😔

dafnelately Glad to be back 😇 Honestly @m1tch9i is probably the only reason I survived as long as I did! She accompanied me and supplemented me with real food the whole way through 😅3 likesReply
dafnelately Amazing to hear about your mom though! ☺️ My father in particular being more receptive to swapping more meat products for plant-based items always makes me so happy! So much better for his health. 3 likesReply

That food sounds quite nice indeed 😀 I haven't been admitted to hospital since going vegan (and hopefully never do because I'm terrified of hospitals), but I went to a state (public) hospital before going vegan, and the food was ridiculous. 😂 I declined every meal except one bowl of plain maize porridge. Their food looked horrific and unidentifiable so I just opted not to have any.

Four years ago I had surgery at a very nice, state of the private day hospital and although they made me a nice looking toasted sandwich (although sadly this was before I went vegan) I was too sick from the anesthesia to eat it. They did have an incredible variety of foods there though. Also nice to hear you don't have any deficiencies really! I haven't had any blood work or medical treatment done since going vegan other than some cold and sinus medication but I'm feeling much healthier than I was before. When we are kind to animals our bodies are kind to us ❤️5 likesReply
