@colleenyoung Thanks for asking, I’m doing well. My taste has returned about 80%, but I still have an issue with sweets, especially chocolate, which tastes like it has artificial sweetener. Hope you’re doing well too.

@colleenyoung I hope you're doing better, I’m doing fine by drinking protein shakes and eating cantaloupe, strawberries, and blueberries, pairs and it seems to be working for me. I needed to lose weight, but this has been the hard way. My taste buds are starting to come back, but I’ll stick to the same diet since I still need to lose about another 40 pounds. I’m dealing with a pretty bad case of dry mouth, and when I chew food, everything feels like it grows in my mouth, so it has to be wet to go down easily. I have been eating soupe for dinner. tried some protean not ready for it yet maybe I need to add something to wet it done in my mouth. I’m hopeful things will improve faster than the doctor’s timeline, which was just an estimate.
