Tomorrow I will be 6 weeks post op gastric bypass. My taste buds have changed with my WLS. Some of the foods that I used to enjoy prior to surgery, are now disgusting. Anyways, today NOTHING tasted good. Foods that I have had no issue with after surgery repulsed me today. Has anyone else experienced this? Just feeling very defeated, and don't want it to stay this way.

Yes I have had a similar experience. A lot of foods taste dry and bland. But somethings are not too bad. It is frustrating in the early stages, but when I started to achieve real results with the weight loss that itself became the real reward. So for us former 'foodies' it's definitely a game changer....but remember that's why we got this done [emoji6]

Your taste of foods do change as time goes on. The further you are out, the more your taste revert back to normal. I am 3 years post-op RNY surgery.

I found that mixing food groups together restored some of my taste. So I became a fan of chili and Soups.

I find that mine changes. Some things taste horrible one day and not so much the next week or month when I try them again. I struggle more with texture issues (for example - any meat that is too chewy - I have spit out more than once - gross!)

Thank you all very much for the info!
