yeah frustrating not being able to taste and one of the reasons I am still just 135 pounds at 5' 11". Still have not lost hope though. At least nothing tastes bad or metallic just blah & bland. Can't even taste the mint in the flouride gel although the label says it is there. I am getting good at distinguishing textures.
The Dry mouth though is a lot better. I can even go an hour without sipping water.
