I'll try this again as my first reply froze! I remember my first post treatment Thanksgiving. I was about a month out from treatment and also had in my head that I was eating Thanksgiving dinner! I did, and it took a looong time with more "Enjoying my family" than actual eating, but it was all good. My advice, keep experimenting and pushing, it gets easier. Never where any of us were (Probably) but it does improve and we do adapt. I agree and remember, the first bite and flavor, then flat.... Then 2 bites and nothing.... Then 3 or 4 (And lots of water to get it down), but no flavor... I still can't make an entire meal without just going through the motions with much of it. When you find those foods that make you "Feel good" enjoy them!!!
Best Wishes,
Steve
