That's terrible. But YES, I agree, they're jealous. Do this for YOU and only you, don't worry about them. I know it's sad, they are you're family. But you can't really do anything about it anyway. BE PROUD OF YOURSELF!!!

Me too, take my pill BEFORE I get out of bed, then shower and get ready before having my coffee about 45 minutes later.

I know I should drink more water, but water tastes awful. Not to sound gross, but it's like having "morning breath" and drinking water. It's nasty! But I do it anyway. Thanks for the advice!! :heart:

that's basically what I've been doing, but I'm worried I'm eating more than I should. I just want to keep trying foods to see if I can taste them. Can't be good for weight loss :frown:

I tried :ohwell: it was bland. I will keep trying. Thanks for the input, I appreciate it!!

Hi, thanks for the input!! Fortunately, I don't have the metal taste. I've heard that a lot of people have that. I'm afraid that I am OVER SALTING everything, and worried about my blood pressure (which has never been an issue before). I just have to wait and see I guess! :happy:

Hi, Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. Yes, it seems like it's hit or miss. Sometimes I tastes salty things and then all of a sudden things are bland again. The same with sweets. I have to be patient and wait it out.

This is awesome news! Thanks!! I thought I was going crazy, because NOBODY told me this would happen. And when I went for my whole body scan, I mentioned it to the tech, and she said she never heard of that happening before. I really thought I was nuts!

Thanks!! I will keep the faith! Did you go thru this too??

Hi! Yes my salivary glands are working, I never had an issue with that, Thank Goodness. Once I was able to go off the Low Iodine Diet, I wanted pizza so bad. And it was awful. And the Easter ham and pineapples tasted rancid. I Hope your husband is doing well !!! Thanks for the input, I appreciate it :happy:

Thanks for the input, this helps me deal a little better. It is frustrating. It seems like sometimes I taste something and the next bite, I don't. It's wierd, and I don't like it! Here's to us being cancer free and healthy!!

Did you have RAI?? Thanks for the encouragement, nobody "gets" me around here. They think it's no big deal, and they are sick of hearing about it.

I haven't lost any weight, I just can't get motivated. But I am back on track this weekend :happy:

EXACTLY!! This is how it is for me. Everything smells soooo good, and then it tastes like crap. My daughetr said if I can't taste anything, then I should eat only fruits and vegs, to keep healthy. But I find myself wanting to taste EVERYTHING, just to see if I can! :tongue:

this is interesting. if I can find it, I will try it. Thanks!

Yes, I can smell food. Actually, everything smells great, and when I go to eat it, it tastes completely different than I expect it to. I have researched it, and it seems lots of patients have experienced this. But it seems like I will never get the taste buds back, tho they all say it will go back to normal eventually.

Funny you mentioned that, I brought Greek Yogurt in for lunch (later) today. I'll give it a try. I hope this doesn't last long, I was unable to eat lots of foods during my treatments, and now that I can eat whatever I want, I can't taste anything. Even water tastes AWFUL! Mouthwash and toothpaste taste bad too. It's like I…
