Madam Reverie

I skipped pureed entirely. I'm 3 weeks out tomorrow. I'm eating real food cooked thoroughly and that can be well chewed. I take it slow and as soon as I feel full, I stop. Consequently, I'm eating 5 small meals a day. Feel much better for it, too.

Yeah, I must remember to only use only Standard American English from this point onwards Numpties...

Oh, us Brits have at least 20 different words for any one activity. We're creative like that.

I love Americans. So much so, I'm marrying one One of our favourite debates is the difference between the pronunciation of 'route' i.e. the planned direction to get somewhere (pronounced 'rowwt' (sp/ph) by your good selves) and why the major arterial road '66' is pronounced 'route' 66 - the English way... Yes, we are that sad... Can you imagine what our sex lives are like?! Actually, don't, that's just rude and wrong - on so many levels... and Newat, I'm everywhere, baby! I am omnipresent :ph34r: Muahahahahaha <evil laugh>

Oh no... Let us know how you get on. Must be quite frustrating to feel awful, but not have a diagnosis yet.. Chin up x

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Much awesomeness, M2G. Finally! Someone with an original sense of humour! (And no, that's not a spelling mistake!) Right, let's all start you off on your process of gentrification with a rousing chorus of : 'Rule Brittannia! Britannia rules the waves! England shall never, never, never, shall be slaves!' - James Thomson (1740-ish). Or, should you prefer? 'God save our gracious Queen, Live long our noble Queen, God save the Queen! Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us..... God save the Queen! Sing along now, people!

I think everyone feels like that. Me? On a thrice weekly basis so far. My coping mechanism is surfing websites of expensive clothing manufacturers, fantasising about what I will buy and mocking the afflicted. It is a healthy and productive distraction. Take a deep breath, try and throw yourself into something which will occupy your mind and don't be ashamed to shed the odd tear whilst telling people to bugger off! After all, it's entirely natural. Hang in there, honey x

Oh, it doesn't matter. Tomaaaayto, Tomato.... Us Brits created it and you Americans ruined it. It's a fact of life. I love you all regardless... ROFL <Runs out of the room giggling and squealing>

and clearly, the word 'f-star-a-star-g' is a prohibited word on this website! Hehe, amusing...

When I first started working with my American brethren, I announced to some colleagues nearby that I was going to step outside and 'smoke a ***'. This, stopped the whole room as they looked up at me in complete horror. When I clarified I was going to smoke a cigarette; they all burst out laughing. I think we should embrace our own little linguistic colloquialisms and nuances. They can sometimes make for great fun

Try not to be scared people. It is but a small moment in time with a little bit of interim discomfort, which will lead you to a better, happier and longer life. Besides, you get lots of legal, free drugs to keep you all warm and comfy! Free drugs! Yay! it'll be like going back to your student days! Hang in there, folks, you'll be fabulous and it will be fabulous. Let us know how you get on - we'll be thinking of you x

LOL. Good job I didn't write 'Balderdash'.. That would have screwed everyones minds up!

LOL... I hate to say it, but it gets worse.. Try licking a little bit of a stock cube. That sated my cravings for taste and salt for a while.. Hang in there! x

Thank you, Lady. Yes, being British, I use the English language. As opposed to the American interpretation of the English language! Apologies, Sassy!

Lol love it

I allegedly have the best fish and chip shop across from my house. However and unfortunately, it's 03:30 am and I don't think they do fed-ex. Is the fish and chips no good over there?

lol yeah, we better stop, else the fstarking fun police will shut us down...

I can't imagine that tagline ever appearing in a bodyform advert

Oh lord.. I want food now

- The glorious Black pudding.. - The uber amazing Spotted Dstaristarcstark and Custard

I have no fstarcstarkstaristarnstarg idea what any of you are fstarcstarkstaristarnstarg on about....

We do in fact eat something called black pudding which is made out of pigs blood... It's delicious!

Yay, another limey in the house!

lol no, treacle is a sweet syrup like substance made out of molasses. So, to american-ize it, I suppose it's akin to calling someone 'sugar', or 'honey'? And OI! What's wrong with British bloody puddings?! We make some of the unhealthiest stodge in the world! <she says whilst rubbing her overly rotund belly>

Aww, that's a justifiable whinge. You must be very disappointed. Not least because you'd done a week of liquids! Try not to be too glum. Give it another few weeks and you'll be good to go again. Hang in there, treacle x
