Shipmate Chad, it took me about 4 to 5 months. I thought I’d never eat again because I wasn’t hungry and everything tasted horrible. I tried to drink protein shakes and instant breakfast drinks. Don’t give up the ship, it will come in due time. Patience is the key. God bless you.

I had my Stem Cell Transplant in 11/3/2022. It took about 4 months before my taste buds snapped back. Trust the process. Stay hydrated.

I remember after my SCT that everything tasted pretty awful. I lost 15 lbs during that time. It did take a few months for things to start tasting normal. I am a year out and food tastes wonderful now. Be patient...it will happen.🙂

The Naturopathic Dr I saw suggested Zinc Lozenges before meals. It helped me. Ask your Dr about it. I had to seek a naturopathic Dr outside of my oncologist office because I could not get suggestion from him.I live in middle Georgia. The Naturopathic also recommended the salt and baking soda water mix to prevent mouth sores as this creates a more alkaline environment. For me having a poor appetite I had to request my caregivers only bring me very small amounts of food at a time. Seeing a full plate made the decreased appetite worse. I hope this helps someone.

It took my husband 2-4 months. Fairlife Protein shakes were a must.
