Wendy, I have lost my sense of taste too. It happened around day 12/13 for me. Just texture as you said. Still have some appetite but eating is weird.

The worst for me is that water tastes salty. I have a sodastream at home and can still drink unflavored carbonated water - it doesn't taste salty for some reason. At some point may not be able to drink carbonated water but hoping that is not soon.

I have started trying different things as Christine said - potatoes are great (as they are mostly texture) as well as avocado. Easy to swallow!

So sorry you are experiencing this early.
Stef
