Hi Hazel I wondered where everyone went as I’m not getting any notifications! I’m ok 1 week to go & I can’t wait to start eating by mouth , I’m really missing it , I’ve gone off of sweet stuff now & can’t taste a lot , just coffee , I’m not even sore , just a bit dry now & then , dietitian told me to try for 4 ensure but I tried & had heartburn all day so gone back to 3 , after treatment that’s the first thing I’m going to do is eat !! Xx

Hi Aly. If you're not sore eat. Forget the ensures. Food is better than replacement.

Well done.

Forget about taste for a while food is fuel mantra. It will come back but your taste buds have been fried and need to regenerate. I was opposite my taste was and in some way accentuated which is just as bad. As a tiny bit of salt tasted like i was  eating the entire Mediterranean seal !  H x

Oh my word peanut butter in soup ! My luck my taste buds will come back  xx

I hurriedly stuffed a spoonful of peanut butter in my mouth yesterday for calories on my way out to cycle. I’d not reckoned for its dryness and I was chewing and trying to swallow it down for about ten minutes into my ride! I won’t do that again.
