I have always been told that physically I start to heal at 2-4 weeks. It has been made clear after all the posts I have read say I'll start to have some normal taste at 3-4 months with slow progression after that. I to wish I could eat and it taste good. My throat has actually been getting worse but drinking my meals is still bearable. I drink 1 ensure+ (350 cal) and a Carnation Instant Breakfast Lactose Free VHC (560 cal) 3x a day. That totals 2790 cals and I'm maintaing my weight. I don't have a feeding tube and Had to take fluids on and off to help me get through the last week of tx and then I took fluids the first week post tx and haven't had to since I have been able to take in the 2730 cals. Good luck and hang in there. Lee
