Linda,
We are called "patients" for a reason...it takes a lot of patience. I could eat no food for months, soft food and soups only for even longer, and eventually, to my surprise, things improved. Now I can eat just about anything that is not too spicy and I can really taste most foods, including Mexican food, steaks, pizza, etc.
I am about as impatient a person as you will ever meet (ask my wife about my driving in Houston traffic!) but when it came to cancer treatment and healing, I was very patient...I guess because I had no choice. If I saw a plate of chocolate chip cookies, but knew that I could not eat them, they did not even appeal to me..I did not even want them. I am still that way about certain things that are just too much trouble to eat...like a candy bar. But there are so many other things that I can eat and enjoy.
So Linda, it is early in your journey and you soumnd like you are doing fine...but you have a way to go..so enjoy the adventure as best you can and you will be fine.
Take care..
Danny G.
