The truth is there are no absolutes in healing times, and when people get their taste back, amount of saliva they end up with, or if they encounter long term swallowing problems. You are asking a question that is very individual and there are no hard answers to it. You are only two months out of treatment, that isn't very long in the scheme of things. This is going to take time, and there is nothing you can do to speed it up. You just have to keep trying things, experimenting with different foods of different flavors and consistencies. Taste comes back in stages, salty came back first for me, then bitter, but sweet never fully came back, even 10 years out. Everyone is different. That is the truth.
