Thanks, Cathy. I don't know why I didn't think of looking it up. I found some on Amazon, I may have to buy some to see what it tastes like.

Is it similar to our Heinz 57 sauce, do you think?

Oh I don't know, Georgia, good question. I haven't had Heinz 57 in a looong time, but I'm guessing yes. It most reminds me of a milder/sweeter A-1 sauce.

I hate marmite and Vegemite too, but Aussies swear they are totally different substances lol. :-)

I like Vegemite, but hate Marmite... go figure. My hubby is from NZ and if there is Vegemite in the house , he eats it up before I get a spoonfull. Acquired taste for sure.... Reckon? ;)

Dee, pants -hahahaaa - it is the little things that make me smile! Oh and yes, rubber v eraser... that is another great one.

Dialect varies so much here too - I love different British accents. I have a welsh accent; more like a lilt really... but I love a thick South Wales accents - North Wales have a different tang to their accent, it is very nasal... my son does an amazing North Welsh accent .. lol... actually he follow me in that department we both love to do accents. In school it comes in very handy; often the kids ask me to do different accents for a laugh!

Oh, and I hate that bloody programme Shameless - I watched 5 mins of it and quickly turned it over... yuk!!

I gotta admit, I absolutely lurve Marmite - delish on toast! Never had Vegemite though!

My daughter has a cooking assessment/test on Wednesday so she has been doing a dry run... OMG! Her cooking is soooo good. I am absolutely stuffed to the point of pain! I hope she does well on Wednesday as she has worked so hard on preparing this food. I am definitely gonna have to fast tomo!

Coops, you feeling better then? There is so much going round - on Friday I felt so cold while we were out really chilled to the bones and I had to come home and get under the duvet with a hot water bottle. I could not get warm. Saturday felt fine and today I have sneezed my head off and now throat feels rough. We need a good dose of cold weather to kill all these germs! Off to Wales in 2 weeks time - booked it yesterday for half term - going to Saundersfoot and taking the dog too so there should be plenty of walking.

I have to admit that I have not exercised for 10 days, I have just not felt up to it. My trainer comes Wednesday and I feel I have wasted the last session (she only comes once a fortnight) so I had better get on and do something tomorrow and Tuesday. I can't say I love exercising but I have been doing it regularly until now. I will give myself a kick up the backside or one of you guys can kindly do it.

Idk what marmite or vegemite is. I will have to look that up.

Sheila and Kelly, have fun at your parties today!

Georgia, I think the brown sauce looks like A1 to me. I think I'm going to try some.

Sue and Cathy, how far do you live from each other?

Denise, so is the ex still staying at Bill's house 3 days a week? What happened with that situation?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
