Someone suggested eating with plastic utensils to help get rid of the metallic taste. Give it a try.

I don't remember a metallic taste, but I do remember cardboard. Like Gary, I didn't have a peg so had to eat or drink it regardless of what it tasted like. I lived mostly on Ensure Plus, coffee or butter becan flavored, for about 6 weeks, mostly during radiation (no chemo). A couple of weeks after radiation I was eating things like cream soups or scrambled, soft boiled or poached eggs, cream of wheat cereal, etc and supplemented it with the Ensure Plus to get the maximum number of calories and protein per day. I needed 80 gm protein at 120lbs. Sweet was the last taste to come back and seemed to take forever, about 6 months, although I do remember eating French Toast with lots of butter and syrup fairly early. You just have to keep experimenting and not give up. It's might frustrating, but most of us get it all back, so sooner than others.

Take care,
Eileen
