@scottmcf1431 Water tasted funny to me as well. Now not so bad, but in the beginning I could taste things in the water if that makes sense? I'm going to try Gatorade (orange). Are your Saliva glands coming around? Mine are still minimal and I have a hard time with bread, crust, or crackers.

@harleytiger
Still having issues with any kind of dry bread, crackers or even things like pizza crusts. Everything needs to be sauced or drowned with sips of liquid to get down. I am having success with dunking a PB sandwich in chicken noodle soup for example.
Still have very dry mouth with minimal saliva, but coughing/ spitting thick mucous.

Hallo: @harleytiger @scottmcf1431 @dragonfire
Chiming in on threads.
water....ugh....metallic taste....yucky
I'm lucky to down a 6c a day.
Not much into Gatorade but orange flavour is tasty.
I add gingerale into OJ on the rocks.
It's all about trial n error.
