I am 5 months out, and have similar problems. What I find, however, is that I need to force myself to drink LOTS of water. I got in the habit when going through treatment, but got away from it when I could start tasting other stuff --coffee, coke, fruit juiice. Unfortunately, all of those things actually dry my mouth out, but because they are liquid, I don't think of it that way.

If I keep up with the Salagen, drink lots of water, and have water handy at meals, I can eat just about anything. Sandwiches with thick bread, crackers, etc. are probably the most bothersome, but even they go down fine with a little extra water.

If you aren't already, start using the Biotene products -- mouthwash, toothpaste and mouth rinse. They help a lot.
