SALTY TASTE?

Ok, so I'm 8 weeks out and all of a sudden everything tastes disgustingly salty. It started yesterday, and when I woke up this morning I could still taste it. It's completely overpowering!

When I started eating meat again, spicy food made me cough...a lot! That was new! I used to love very spicy food. I cut the spices down to half as much as I use to eat...I was good with that. Then yesterday this salt thing started and that's all I can taste.

Today I didn't use any salt or anything with salt in it. Still, the taste. UGH!!!

Has anyone else ever had this problem?

I haven't used a salt shaker since surgery. This is only bizarre because I was a saltoholic pre-op. I have noticed that most foods already taste salty, but this has been consistent for me not sudden. Are you taking a PPI? I was just wondering if the spicy foods were causing acid...

Everything tastes salty to me also, but black pepper is worst. I can now use a little pepper, but right after surgery I could not tolerate Black Pepper at all.

I can use pepper, just not Cajun or blackened seasoning. I live in metro New Orleans, so it's quite a problem for me. I've lived my entire adult life down here and I LOVE spicy food!

I haven't used salt for 2 days, but I can still taste it. I've used black pepper, garlic & lemon juice on shrimp and fish. I haven't had chicken since this all started but when I do I'll use a pinch of spice and see if I can handle it. I do take a PPI and haven't had any acid problems since surgery!

Thanks for the feedback! It really helps to know that I'm not the only one!!! :unsure:

I haven't noticed it yet. I do know when I'm trying to decide whAt to make to eat, nothing is appealing. I've used a garlic/ pepper seasoning when I'm cooking but it hasn't been an overwhelming taste yet. Watch, now that I'm replying it will start bothering me lol

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
