Mine is almost all the way back. Still get dry mouth worse at night. Be patient, it has been 18 months for me. I would guess I am 90 % back with taste and saliva. I was like David, not a big sweet eater until treatments. Now I cannot get enough, ice cream , cookies, cobbler.....Used to be a chip/snack guy now not so much, it is the sweets.
