Taste buds change?

Anyone out there a few months or more that can say if it comes back? For me it's just about every food and drink I've tried is revolting. Really getting to me and now- I need to eat something I don't have to literally gag down!

It's funny, I'm one week out from my sleeve procedure now and I haven't noticed a change in my taste buds at all. Seems like all the stuff on the liquid diet tastes the same as it did to me before the surgery. I don't know if I've noticed any change in my olfactory senses, either...although I think maybe my desire to have different flavors than this boring stuff I've been having for three weeks might be partly responsible for that!

I do have to say, though, that my desire for sweet things is GONE. I don't have any hankerings for cakes and Cookies, or candy bars or anything I used to really like, now. That's a huge blessing. Really, what I'm feeling like is crunchy, chewy, salty/savory...flavorful texture, basically. But as far as junk, I don't really want any of that at all.

My taste also changed immediately after. Vets, does it get back to normal?

I'm not much of a vet at 11 months, but it did come back for me...mostly.

The first weeks after surgery was the most noticeable.

I was sipping an ounce or two of Protein every hour. The flavors of things were more distinct. Anything that was overly "anything" in any direction was not enjoyed. Too sweet.....too tart.....too salty....etc.

My biggest aversion was anything that was strongly sweetened with artificial sweetener.

For the most part I've reverted back to normal these past few months. There are certain foods that I don 't care for....but it's not a flavor thing. It's just a strong preference to avoid them that I can't explain. Rice and cottage cheese are two such foods. Prior to surgery, I'd eat them without a second thought. Now, though, I just about hurl at the thought of either. No logical reason why.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
