Pat,
I'm almost 3 months out and I have just begun eating in the last 2 weeks. Not enough to get the PEG tube out, but I'm trying. I'm eating soft stuff and TV dinners, I had to get low sodium because everything tasted really salty. My sweet taste is weak to non-existant. I've had to learn the hard way to chew my food more than I used to do. I have swallowed some stuff that felt like a cactus going down and it inflamed my throat all over again. It's tough, but hang in there!
