My mother has problems with taste also but chocolate had helped her a lot. Try drinking chocolate shakes or eat a chocolate candy bar. Use lots of the lotion they recommended and exercise as much as you can.

Try to eat things that you may have not always liked ,it may taste different. Try shakes and smoothies. Drink lots of water. Water was a slight problem for me because it had a slimy texture to me after chemo! Your taste foe food and appetite should come back. I also had a double masectomy and reconstruction The same day. A lemon added to water helps the taste. Eat small amounts frequently. Tightness should improve lotion helps, use it at least twice a day I use the lightest Eucerin.most formulas were judt to heavy and painful to rub in! Skin calming is the best one. Are you on Chemo?I had chemo and radiation. Feel free to ask me anything! Good luck! Denise. Ps you can pm on face book if you like.

@Texastiger how long have you had this complication of not having your taste back? Has it been months?

@Courtney_J I am getting very nervous and scared because the surgery is July 13, 2021. My parents both died this year so I dont have them to talk to. My mom died on Feb 16, 2021 with a sickness she was suffering for 18 months so i was dealing with that for the last months and then my dad had a major stroke 3 weeks after my mom passed away and he could no longer go back to his assistance living so we had to find a nursing home. We found one he was only in there 3 weeks and then he passed away on May 6, 2021. Right after all that I was diagnosed with cancer so I have been on a train that is non-stop. I feel like I am so tried out and I dont have much energy left. My sisters are not helpful they keep telling me just pray. They both got to take 2 weeks vacation after my mom and dad passed away. I have not even had time to take a breather I am just on the train of bad luck. That is how I am feeling.
