Seda Bug, it's totally normal! I didn't have an appetite for months and would force myself to eat/try something. Now I can taste better but food still isn't the same, it smells great but just doesn't hit the spot! I think/hope with time it will improve.

I too lost weight, over 65lbs, and no matter how many calories I force, I can't gain weight. I hear it takes time so I'm okay with it but it's also keeping me from getting my G tube removed since drs fear me going down to double digits, they are making me down more formula to increase the calories.

Hang in there, it will get better!
