From what I understand, our appetite and our taste buds are returning, much like other functions in our bodies. At first, our taste buds are hypersensitive, and anything we enjoy tastes even better than before, and things we don't enjoy can actually make us feel ill. This is one reason why sugary snacks are so pleasurable in early sobriety.
Appetite and sense of taste will level out at some point, but I don't know that there's a specific time frame for this.
How's the Big Apple treating you?
