Found out I do not like bacon anymore.

I love tuna and fish when I used to hate it.

And steak tastes gamey.

What tastes changes have you experienced?

Wow. When did you all notice the changes? Immediately after surgery or how many weeks/months in?

For me i used to hate vegetable but now i eat everything green also started to hate chicken and meat but love fish

I couldn't stand the smell and taste of eggs after surgery (not that I was a fan before) but now I can tolerate them again and they are okay. My sensitivity to smell and taste are heightened. Meat is not my friend on most days. Ugh!

I noticed my 2nd day, when I got home. Propel, vitamin water and powerade are way too sweet. Even when mixed 1 part to 9 parts water.. eww! Super sweet. Smells are very bad. Again super sweet. Before surgery I washed my bedding, my comforter, throw blankets and everything I could. I had to rewash everything in free and clear detergent and use dryer balls instead of fab soft. All of my air fresheners in my house had to be unplugged

That is true, I can no longer stomach sweet protein drinks or some yogurts

I used to love yogurt before surgery. I have tried eating it a few times since my surgery and just can’t stomach it anymore. The taste just gets to me immediately. I also can’t eat tuna anymore. One thing I have found weird also is that my sense of smell seems to be heightened since surgery. I don’t know how or why, but I now smell everything way more than I did pre surgery.

My taste buds are shot also..I don't like anything from water to food. My surgery date was Sept 14. I've spoken to a few people at support group and some say they got theirs back in 3 months others took longer to get taste buds back..

Same here about heightened sense of smell! We were in the car and I said I smell skunk (we had the windows down) my cousin said I dont smell anything. It took about a minute until she did, at that point my face was in my shirt holding my nose and breathing through my mouth. I thought For sure I was going to throw up!

Omg yes my smell is insane right now!

So I decided to try a reese cup at work. Omg it tasted horrible. My stomach took it fine but omg the taste. I threw the other half out. I guess my taste buds weren’t feeling it anymore

I'm only 3 days post op. The day before surgery I made a batch of my favorite SF lemon jello and a batch of SF chocolate pudding. Previously those would each be 4 servings for me. I served up a tablespoon and ate some of both today and stopped after 2 tiny bites because I just was not enjoying them. Yesterday they were yummy. Today they just did not make my mouth say yummy and I didn't want to waste calories by eating something I wasn't enjoying. It seems like my taste buds are slowly changing day by day.

Most be my body's way of telling me I don't need something.
