is it normal to not have your tastebuds change? my surgery went really well. I have no nausea or vomiting. i sometimes wonder if i really had the surgery cause everything seems to be going so well for me. lol.

I did have two bleed outs from my main port and had to have transfusions but other than that im doing fantastic. Mine is a real success story. but i do wonder about my tastebuds not changing.

I can't eat chicken or pork or real eggs.

My tastebids chance and my sense of smell. Everything seems much stronger.

Not everyone's journey is the same. If you're taste buds didn't change it's nothing to worry about

I haven't tried those yet...but everything I've tried tastes normal.

I hate the smell and taste of toothpaste now...lol

You still need to brush your teeth Lolz

My sense of taste didn't change, either, that I have noticed; however, I have noticed how GOOD healthy eating tastes. I guess it's all in what you get used to. Glad all is going well for you and that you are having great success.

Mine has changed either.

My taste buds changed big time !!! The things I loved before now taste awful to me. Example = lunch meats, ALL of them taste discusting to me, there must be some type of preservative in them because I am tasting something chemical. I tried different brands, different stores etc. they all taste the same. This along with other things I have no taste for anymore. I'm OK with it because I have discoverd other more healthy things I like much better

Im really glad to hear that some people do not have changes in how they taste.

Ive had really horrible sinus problem most of my life. Ive lost my sense of smell- once in a while something will drift thru. but as a result most things taste bland.

Im preop and Ive tried a number of protein supplements and settle on the one i like and have begun to stock up on protein and vit water when on sale. ive been so worried if my taste would change postop and then not be able to tolerate their taste.

thank you for your posts.

I have to say my tastebuds have not really changed. Occasionally something will taste wonderful and because I am eating it in a smaller amount such as fish, i will savor it very much. Unfortunatly that includes carbs--no problem with small amounts of sugar. But I am choosing to avoid as I do not feel well afterwards. I can really tell they do our body harm as I feel awful even after a small amount.
