yes, patience! It takes time for the taste buds to come back and they come back gradually over a period of time. Also, experimentation. Keep trying different foods and flavors. My theory is that since too much or too little salt is important to the body is why that taste sensation comes back earlier. Many grocery store delis and soup counters will allow you to try small samples.
