I don't know what causes the sensation, but I had it too. For several weeks after surgery, EVERYTHING tasted sweet - too sweet. Every Protein shake I'd tried and liked before surgery tasted like it was loaded with sugar. It was SO weird! But also, things I liked a lot before surgery, like a good cup of coffee, tasted absolutely awful. It wa slike my tastebuds had gone crazy. After I was back on solid food again, things began to level out, coffee tasted good again, and I started getting myself back on track.

Hang in there. It gets better.

The fake sugar makes you want things sweeter.. could be that?

I had no sense of taste or smell for like a week after surgery from anesthesia. Maybe from that?

Are you diabetic?

Also, when you stop eating carbs, your body can switch into ketosis which can cause the sweet taste. Ketosis can happen in diabetics as well, which is why I asked if you are diabetic.

We eat so little right after surgery, it is possible you are in ketosis and experiencing the mouth sweetness from that.

Thanks cocoabean. No I am not diabetic but the ketosis makes sense now that I think about it.
