You must be patient and let your body recover from the near death state it was taken to. You will see slow gradual improvements and a year from now you will notice a great improvement in your eating enjoyment. I am still noticing slight changes for the better. Just over 16 months post Tx and I eat anything I want; I depend less on liquids than ever before; I taste more foods and even subtle favors are creeping back into the picture and as a result I am enjoying the food experience more now than ever before. Am I back to pre Tx levels ? No. Do I hope I improve more? Yes. If I stopped improving would I be bummed out? No.
Please relax because you aren't able to make these improvements happen any quicker than they will.
