Why exactly do our taste buds change after surgery?

I have no idea why, but cardboard seems to be a new food group.

Hot sauce? You are brave. I'm afraid to try anything spicy.

I love pickles. I did lay off them for a while due to it having a lot of sodium.

My taste buds have totally changed !!!! I thought I was the only one with that problem. I have tried a number of things that I once liked and now after WLS they taste totally different and I do not like them anymore !!!

I would say if anything after post op I like spicer things now.

I think that's why I'm having a hard time with salads. Without a lot of dressing - Umm it doesn't taste right. Too much dressing , too many calories and it pointless.

I feel like Indiana Jones on a search for the Holy Grail of flavor satisfaction. At first, when I found a gem, I would repeat eating it, but would eventually tire of it. I now search for the spark of flavor, then store that info in memory, coming back to that food only periodically. A few of my gems are Progresso Tomato Basil soup, Kippered Seafood Snacks, shrimp w/ cocktail sauce, Hormel tamales, garlic mashed potatoes, and pork chop. Almonds, sunflower seeds, cashews, mixed tropical fruit, LF yogurt, potato salad & cottage cheese are welcome and enjoyed. I love pickles & pepperocillies, but have not attempted them yet. Being Labor Day, I'm BBQing a steak today, making deviled eggs, and preparing some seasoned potato wedges. Portion sizes will be the most disheartening, but I know what my limits are. I will abide by the wisdom of the regemine and celebrate wisely. Have a Great Holiday Weekend...

Everything still tastes the same except Mio flavor enhancers.

At first everything needed to be salty and spicy. Beans and hot sauce were great. But now I'm sick of Splenda, sour, and salty or spicy. I miss fruits an veggies so bad and nothing is refreshing. Thinking about trying babyfood fruit ice cold.

Try buying the one you spray like 5 calories each. I can eat salad with sea salt & 1spoon olive oil. I'm not a salad dressing fan.

I can't eat pork chops anymore.

Pork chops were a problem for me at first, but after my dilations, and conscience efforts to slice them thinly and chew sufficiently, I can get thru a portion of pork chop. Scrambled eggs are my nemesis at this time, and I hear that is common...
