Yep, getting sick of the old baby formula. I'm nearly three weeks out and some taste is returning. Going to try pumpkin soup soon:) However I keep channeling Christine B and drink the milkshakes as well. I've lost more weight since treatment than I did during it. Because I lost some weight before surgery, some after and a little during rads I've changed from a rounded, stocky shape to a taller slimmer profile. Very nice but then I think of what everyone is telling me and force down the shakes.
