4 Weeks Post Op- When will my taste buds 'wake up'?

I am 4 weeks post op and foods taste so different now. I made some chicken soup and the boiled chicken tasted like rubber, I find myself seasoning food more than before. I sampled some Catalina dressing and it was great but nothing else seems to taste good. Also, my doctor said I could go on to regular food in a week, I am afraid to eat solids. Any suggestions on how to make foods more tatste appealing?
