Different Taste Buds?

I had my sleeve done on 6/6/13. I am still in the post-op liquid diet stage and I absolutely cannot stand the taste or smell of chicken or beef broth! It makes me wanna puke!! I tolerated it before surgery..... Now I refuse to drink it! Anyone else have this issue? Any advice?

Not so much the broth, but I had quit drinking nutrasweet stuff months ago and now it makes me gag. The stuff tastes too darn sweet. I'm 11 days post op.

I couldn't stand any of the clear liquid foods. Can't stand the artificial sweetener, couldn't stand the broth --- it was rough! Luckily, I only had to do it for 1 week post op. Now I'm on full liquids and enjoying pureed Soups, greek yogurt, pureed oatmeal and milk. Hang in there, it does get better!!!

The other day I took a piece (about the size of a pencil eraser) of my favorite dark chocolate and it tasted like I had just licked the bottom of an ashtray. Today, my kids were hankering McD's fries and as they never ever ask for fast food, I complied. I tried a fry and it was HORRIFIC. I asked the kids if they tasted "off" and they said they were as yummy as ever, so I took a bite of a second one. BLUUUUUURP!!

So my favorite chocolate and my favorite fries, blech. SO happy!

I feel the exact same way.
