Food tastes funny

I have recently started eating soft foods and some food tastes funny ... did anyone else experience this ? Is it because our sleeve is still healing ? Will it go away ?

I'm still pre-op but I've seen lots and lots of people say your tastes change, but often it changes back.

Chicken/tuna salad for me...loved it prior the surgery but now it sucks...my nutritionist says it'll go back to normal though

Peanut butter is a no go for me now. Taste awful and my sleeve doesn't like. ????

Right now im only tolerating mash potato ... only thing that doesnt taste funny and I dont vomit :( my mouth has a metallic taste alao

There are two reasons for the funny taste of food, the first is an effect from the anesthesia impacting sense of smell, the other is from ketosis. Both do go away.
