Has anyone else noticed an increase in your taste sense? I used to like equal and artificial sweetners. I can't stand them anymore. They are so disgusting and thats all I can taste when I get 'diet food'. So I just started getting regular food since I'm eating so much less of it....and the fact that I'll actually eat the regular food instead of just let it sit there in the fridge until I throw it out. (i.e. greek yogurt, juice, etc).

I have noticed it. I used to enjoy the bitter taste of nutratsweet - now I cannot stand it.

YES ... i still have this problem 6 months out ... nothing taste the same anymore... I just look at it this way- Food is Fuel for my body and so I eat what I need to keep it running properly. Don't get me wrong I do treat myself every now and then to foods that really taste good- I like to think of this as Premuim Fuel and I don't do it all the time just because Premuim usually comes at a higher price JUST LIKE GAS ... The higher priced Premuim usually equal to weight gain or more time at the gym... either way- I HATE THE COST... #STICKING2REG(most day LOL!!! )

My tastes changed drastically. Things I used to love no longer appeal to me, while things I wouldn't have touched before, I actually enjoy now. That is a good thing though, because the things I loved pre-sleeve were unhealthy and the things I now love post-sleeve are healthy.

I'm really sensitive to sweetness now. EVERYTHING that has sugar in it tastes sooo sweet. Sleevie doesn't like sugars either. That is working well for me though. Sugar was my slider, now I can't tolerate it and it tastes differant.

My sense of taste is very heightened now. I don't find this to be a problem though because everything tastes so much better. I too am using regular food and 2% dairy. When I drink juice it's off my own trees and watered down 50% or more. Regular juices ARE WAY TOO SWEET! I don't want any high fructose corn syrup or Aspartame for that matter. Processed foods are way too salty. My sleeve likes fresh food.

Add me to the list of people with a dramatic change in their taste buds. Everything tastes different to me now. For instance, sometimes things that taste normal to everyone else will taste spoiled to me.
