We eat for pleasure ans when you take that senation away, you might as well give me a pill. That was the first horrible part of my treatment, loosing my taste. Worst part is for a very long time your brain is telling you exactly what you are about to put into your mouth will taste like and then BAM it either has no taste or even worse it tastes bitter or just plain bad.
