HI there.... start off with simple foods that are mild and you like, and then work your way around to stuff that's a bit more challenging that you want to try. Always have a back up on hand in case it doesn't work out. So if you like mac and cheese then try that. I am over two years out. And I can eat well for what I've been through. Still sometimes I'll order a meal when I'm out and it will taste good but at some point eating it becomes too much work... It depends on what it is mind you, but say for example if it is vinegary it's fine at the start and then my mouth says HOLY CRAP that burns and I stop. I do try to order stuff I know I can handle when I am eating out. And sometimes as much fun as it is to go out to dinner, and even though it is more work to stay at home and cook, I do it anyway because I know I can get something I like, can eat, and will enjoy. Everything in time. Try to relax and pick one or two simple things a day that you think you would do okay with... maybe mashed potatoes, a soft omelet? steamed veggies. etc. hugs. I know it is frustrating.
