Leena,
Congrats on eating "real" food!  I know just how big a victory that is.  Although I've been out of treatment (total glossectomy, chemo and 37 rad treatments) for 7 months, I just began eating solid food.  I'm able to get down one small meal a day supplemented with liquid nutrition.  It's not an easy task - takes a lot of determination, patience and practice but I'm doing it!  So I believe you'll be eating that Christmas ham and mashed potatoes before the Christmas season is upon us!  Keep up the good work.
Hugs, Nancy
