I was wondering if foods taste different since the surgery? I find that a lot of foods dont taste the same

Defintely, but at almost 6 weeks out, I am starting to be normal.

Yes, I use to love canned tuna, can't stand it now. Foods that have heavier (cream based versus tomato) sauces don't taste good to me anymore

Same here with the canned tuna not tasting good anymore. I was so excited because it was allowed on the puréed part of my postop diet, but it did not taste good at all anymore no matter what I did to it. Thankfully chicken salad does taste ok, I just had to cook the chicken myself and not use the canned. The little liquid things of crystal light don't taste good anymore either. I'm still slowly adding in foods so I'm sure I'll find some more things that don't taste the same as I go along. I'm hoping that it's temporary, but I'll be ok if it isn't. I've read on here and other places that you have to wait and try them again later before you really know for sure.

Anything sweet is too sweet now. Even stevia or the sugar free popcicles. Sweets used to be my weekness but now at almost 8 weeks post op, I don't have most things that are sweet anymore. Everything else seems like the flavor of foods is enhanced.
