I'm similar to Helen with treatment and op, done Xmas 2003. Taste was a real problem for a while (avocado tasted like grass) but not so bad now. Peppery, chilli type things, lemon are a bit of a killer, and I really miss bread, and certain types of carbohydrates.

The really interesting thing I find is my sense of smell. It so good, actually too good that many people are now disappointing...can smell bad breath a mile away, the cat's mouth is foul, even though my husband can't smell her, can smell people smoking in a car on a highway (!). I've got the best nose in the business to check if food is slightly off. But it can be annoying when you can smell all of these gorgeous foods you can't eat frown

Cheers!
