For 2 months, I was only allowed this forumlar, that tasted/smelt of off-milk and had the consistancy of a McDonalds milkshake. It was that and medicaly-sterial water (not just a kettle boiled, it tasted bitter). I wasn't even allowed mouthwash, and brushing my teeth I could only do twice a day, which when going through this stuff, was a complete pleasure. Two. Months.
Once a week my dad would let me have a few licks of a lollypop( special ones from Harrods) and then chuck it away (I think he kept it for himself, but he didn't do it infront of me) , and they were amazing, they're still my favorite and I sometimes make trips up there just for these lollys, they're called "Linda's Lollys".
The third time I was allowed Crusha milkshake, as that had the least stuff in, it didn't make it taste nice, but at least it was tollerable. Dad wrote to crusha about it, and they sent us boxes of the stuff, including loads of flavours that never made it to market, like grape and coconut.

You've been through the mill.
Our jake used to have special feed but they put it through a tube so he didn't have to taste the cack.

There was some kids on the ward who had another similar forumla who could use one, they also got a bit of chocolate.
Those tubes are horrible though, I've had them a few times, it's double bad when you sick it up and it goes out your mouth.
Although it was quite an ordeal, afterwards, they re-introduced you back into foods every week, first was potato (no butter, no skins), and even though it was even hospital-food jacket potato, I will never taste anything nicer than that in my life. The next week was marmight, so it was potato and marmight drinks for me... after a couple of months, it went down to 3 days, then ever day.... the idea being, if you get ill, you can narrow down the food group.

Then after a whole day Grandma would say "Give her a Marie biscuit and see how she is."
A fucking Marie biscuit... I didn't know I was born!
