I'm in my 6th week/ and will be finished Sept 7. So far no major pain or swallowing issues. I did try my peg tube out once, but am finding the Carnation VHC a more effecient way of getting nutrition. I'm down 10 lbs and they want to minimize further weight loss.

My question is--can you tell me about the month post treatment? I have heard that it can be pretty bad, as my mouth will "keep cooking" but want to have some idea what to expect. I know the old taste buds won't be returning right away, but it'd be nice if a month out I had some taste back.
