Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 2,019 | Thanks for the encourgement Pam and Amy. Pam, I guess I'm about a year behind you (treatment ended 6/3/05)so it's good to know there's a lot of recovery ahead of me! So far the soups taste pretty good, I think pretty much like they should, to me. The smoothy was another matter. I think I am still missing a lot of my sweet taste. I couldn't really taste the blend of fruit flavors like I used to--but I can taste some fruit flavors on their own so maybe its just a matter of time. Today I see the speech pathologist again and I'm going to check with him to be sure I'm doing those exercises right and see if there are any others.
