Age or not it wasn't until my 3rd week post Tx that I was finally able to start eating again. I remember I called my wife that afternoon and told her I had to have KFC mashed potatoes with gravy and their mac n cheese. She brought that home and I took a few bites of each and found it was going to take forever to finish even if I could so then I asked her to go get me some canned fruit cocktail which she did and I ate some of that. That was my start and I felt liberated.
