I am 17 months post Tx and I am just now enjoying eating again. I mean I can now eat and taste anything and I have started to gain some much needed weight back.

I felt like you many times and it has taken me 17 months to get to where I am soooo don't give up and just prepare yourself for a longer recovery period than you had hoped for.
