How many Txs have you had?
I went from normal taste to bitter to no taste to a little sweet to some taste to better taste to pretty good taste. My taste didn't start to recover until 3 weeks post Tx. I am now 5 months post and I really taste things well and my dry mouth has improved enough that I actually almost enjoy eating again. I have also started to regain some of my weight back but beer still doesn't do much for me. I have started to enjoy choc chip cookies and donuts which may explain the weight gain? LOL
