SALTY TASTE?

Ok, so I'm 8 weeks out and all of a sudden everything tastes disgustingly salty. It started yesterday, and when I woke up this morning I could still taste it. It's completely overpowering!

When I started eating meat again, spicy food made me cough...a lot! That was new! I used to love very spicy food. I cut the spices down to half as much as I use to eat...I was good with that. Then yesterday this salt thing started and that's all I can taste.

Today I didn't use any salt or anything with salt in it. Still, the taste. UGH!!!

Has anyone else ever had this problem?

I haven't used a salt shaker since surgery. This is only bizarre because I was a saltoholic pre-op. I have noticed that most foods already taste salty, but this has been consistent for me not sudden. Are you taking a PPI? I was just wondering if the spicy foods were causing acid...

Everything tastes salty to me also, but black pepper is worst. I can now use a little pepper, but right after surgery I could not tolerate Black Pepper at all.

I can use pepper, just not Cajun or blackened seasoning. I live in metro New Orleans, so it's quite a problem for me. I've lived my entire adult life down here and I LOVE spicy food!

I haven't used salt for 2 days, but I can still taste it. I've used black pepper, garlic & lemon juice on shrimp and fish. I haven't had chicken since this all started but when I do I'll use a pinch of spice and see if I can handle it. I do take a PPI and haven't had any acid problems since surgery!

Thanks for the feedback! It really helps to know that I'm not the only one!!! :unsure:

I haven't noticed it yet. I do know when I'm trying to decide whAt to make to eat, nothing is appealing. I've used a garlic/ pepper seasoning when I'm cooking but it hasn't been an overwhelming taste yet. Watch, now that I'm replying it will start bothering me lol

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
