When do taste buds return?

[JonteRaynal 2]

Hey Sleevers!

I'm 4 weeks post opt and I'm sad because although I can eat more, not many foods taste the same. Is it just temporary? Let me know when your buds returned to normal.

Also, has salt and sugar been amazing to you?!

My taste buds never changed.

Never been a sugar person. Salt is amazing, and so is fat.

I've heard that people have the taste of things change after surgery and it ends up being permanent. Not a thing changed for me, post-surgery, in terms of how things taste. Except maybe having detoxed from refined sugar, now sugar-free things taste pretty sweet to me (like Popsicles). In terms of "my tastes" changing, they have. I don't crave sweets, baked goods and cakes, Cookies and candy and stuff anymore. I think that has to do with detoxing from sugar too, though. It's pretty addictive.

I'm 11 days post op and I can't taste salt in many broths, I fear I may never be able to taste seasoned foods again...
