If stuff doesn't taste very good, doesn't that mean that there isstill more time needed for the taste buds to get back to near normal? I can taste most stuff but savoury foods taste a bit too salty which shows there is still a lack of function there somewhere. My biggest problem is that sweet things taste delicious and I'm putting on weight. That's both good and bad, I guess.
