Do your tastes really change?



Recommended Posts

I've heard that your tastes may change after this surgery... is that really true? And if so, does anyone know why? I'm just curious about people's experiences on this one. Thanks!

There are some significant taste changes right after surgery. Like, anything powerful or overly sweet I would have to dilute to half Water to choke it down.

My taste buds have returned to normal since but now its my cravings that have changed. I'm 2 months out now. I actually think about eating healthy meals when I'm hungry. Like I don't think about what I want for dinner the night before while I'm eating last night's dinner. It's very interesting.

I don't like the super-sweet stuff anymore. I used to love milk chocolate (and various versions of it, e.g. with caramel), but now it's just too much. I'm more of a dark chocolate person now. Same with other sweets. I used to love all those Coldstone/Marble Slab-type ice creams with lots of mix-ins, but a few weeks ago I got one, and it was total overkill. I also find some things to be disgusting, e.g. those cafeteria sandwiches with luncheon meat and butter/mayonnaise on them. I'm a student and my friends and I always scavenge for free food at events. Last time we got some sandwiches and I had to spit them out, because they tasted so nasty to me - before, we'd eat them all the time.

Wow, thanks for the replies, guys! Frankly, I wouldn't mind it if I suddenly didn't like sweets :-). I just wonder why it happens...

I have had it happen to me after other surgeries. I hated eating chips for a year after I had my gallbladder out (taste was gross). Now my tastebuds are back. So I wonder if it has something to do with anesthetic in your system or what.

I asked my nut about this. She said it was pretty common from the hormone changes, but returns back to normal. I think it may also be from eating sf stuff for so many weeks. I remember when I stopped drinking soda and tried it again after several months and it tasted nasty.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
