Now it's been like a week.
I've got something almost like scabs on my tongue. White spots on the inside of my cheeks. And still, nothing tastes like food.
I ate a peanut butter sandwich and it was a miserable experience. When all you can pay attention to is the texture of the food, but not the flavor, you notice all these irritating little traits. Like how crunchy peanut butter is completely inconsistent. Sometimes you'll get a bunch of peanut chunks in a bite. Sometimes hardly any.
I ate a spoonful of jelly straight and it just tasted like some kind of weird viscous fluid. It didn't make me nauseous but it almost did. So I left it off the sandwich.
This experience is depressing in a whole new way. A way that I hadn't ever imagined ever experiencing.
