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 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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
