I never experienced the metallic taste. I did loose my appetite for awhile. And was losing too much weight. I was told to eat calorie- rich foods in small frequent amounts. And although I usually eat fat free, it was suggested that I eat more calories and fat. Like cheese and eggs. Liquids like milkshakes, smoothies, canned Ensure.. Also things that were easy to prepare. Frozen foods. This is no time for complicated recipes. Keep it simple.
