Alpaca... hon... sadly your dietician is misleading you. Your taste will return when it's good and ready and probably has it's own time table. You may get some taste within a month but truthfully it took me a lot longer to recover my taste and my sweet is still not operational - though I get hints here and there. For me the least horrible tasting (even now - 3 years out) is natural foods. Processed foods taste a lot like the crap they put in them... essentially chemical stew. Horrible. Pop is disgusting even now. So be patient with yourself - it will take some time. HUGS.
