Taste buds

What has happened to my taste buds? I'm 6 days post-op and nothing tastes the same to me, even water! When will my sense of taste return to normal?

  • I can't answer that. All I know is things I didn't like the taste of before, I now like and things I liked, I now don't like. I use to add Propel to my water, but now its too sweet and I never liked

I use to add Propel to my water, but now its too sweet and I never liked yogurt and now I love it.

Go figure!

Susan,

Very common, happened to me as well. I freaked out the most when Water was even disgusting to drink (and I am a huge water fan). Your buds will go back to normal as the days go by...

Hang in there (hugs)

My taste buds have also gone mutant. I even tried to eat a grape earlier and it tasted horribly sweet to me. I'm all about the salt now and find myself liking foods I didn't care for so much before.
