Congratulations to Jim on completing treatments. Everyone has different issues with eating. I wasn't able to eat "real" food for about 16 months, but had my peg out well before that as I was able to swallow Ensure, smoothies and milkshakes and such, just couldn't handle anything solid due to the combination of bad taste and no saliva. Others are on solids much sooner and some few take even longer. You just have to try whenever you feel up to it and hope it works.
