They tell us that we may notice some changes with our taste buds, so I'm curious what, if anything, changed for you?

For me, I've always liked spicy food, but I could either take it or leave it. Now I want to swim in a giant bowl of Siracha. Maybe it's because of the minuscule amount of food that makes me want the maximum amount of flavor? A quarter cup of refried Beans covered in Siracha....yum! I need help...

Your taste buds do change. I hated onions and peppers before surgery. Now I love them. I hated fruit now I love it. I try a new food every couple of weeks.

I am 7 weeks post op today. Doing great. Never had pain or the gas pains...so lucky.

I will say my tastebuds have changed. Post surgery I liked Unsweet tea, now does not really have any taste. I wanted to try coffee last week, does not taste good now. Loved lemonade before surgery, now Crystal Light taste different. Before surgery I drank at least two glasses a day. About 529 weeks after surgery I finally was able to drink orange gatorade and it tasted so good. Have switched to the G2. It's better for me (does not taste as good). I drink about half a one a day. Diet Cranberry juice is good.

My doctor told me that this was a possibility.

I can't eat chicken anymore [emoji22]

I'm finding a lot of sweet things aren't as yummy as they used to be, which is good. The oddest thing has been a shift in my condiments. I used to be all about the ketchup and sweet sweet BBQ sauce. Now they make me a bit nauseated by themselves. I am now preferring mustard type condiments mixed in.

I didn't care for sweets before the surgery, and now even the thought of biting into a cookie, for example, makes me nauseous. Is it because the surgery, not sure. It could've been from 4 weeks of nothing but "sweet" Protein shakes.

Me. I'm 10 days post surgery. Yesterday I have a glucerna strawberry drink it was fine. This morning the strawberry was so sweet I couldn't drink it. I actually feel sick. I'm a chocolate addict but I have had no interest in the chocolate glucerna.

Mine sure did. I stop enjoying

cheese or ground beef oh the texture, dryness. Loved eggs b4 now it's a chore to eat. Salt was too salty and sugars was too sweet but I got over that and now having to many sweets again.

I no longer like things that are super sweet...and some things that were NOT that sweet to me in the past, now are. really weird. Protein shakes in particular. I've become very sensitive to the sweetness level of those...one brand (Lean Body Salted Caramel), i absolutely LOVED during my pre-op diet. Now, i can't even choke one down...too sweet...yuck.

I'm about 3 months post op. I just want all the salt. Sweet grosses me out now.

I have always preferred sweets, shoot that was one of the reasons I couldn't lose weight. Now, i crave salty spicy things. It's so weird.

My husband makes the most amazing homemade chicken Soup. He made some when I was in Clear liquids and it tasted so gross. It was like pure liquid chicken fat. He made it a few weeks later (at my request) and it still tasted awful.

I was also a Diet Coke addict for decades. If I could have the stuff fed to me intravenously, I would have been in heaven. Now I'm not even remotely interested or tempted.

Not really at all for me except protein shakes gross me out- but that's probably because I am sick to the death of them.
