Food not tasting the same

[dimples509 0]

Sooooo on our mushy stage, the NUT says that we can have melted cheese. So my husband ordered a pizza, and I attempted to eat some cheese from it and it made me realize one thing.......I NEVER CHEWED MY food BEFORE........ the cheese actually changed texture and it didn't taste the same, so I stopped trying. It just taste different all together. Does anyone else have this problem?

What about drinking? When I drink Water, and juice, I have to sip, and it's weird if I take too big of gulp, but I got a sugar-free Slurpee and it's going down normal...... I wonder what that's all about.........

I'm still on liquids so don't know about food but liquids def taste diff. I loved diet peach Snapple pre-op but now it makes me sick. Same for my shakes. I can't tolerate them without gagging now. Hopefully it gets better soon for us both. But I was just thinking, maybe the spices or sauce from the pizza made it taste funny to you?

Yeah Ms Lady in NC,i don't know what it could be. I think it may also have something to do with the fact that I actually chewed the food down to like it's lowest consistency when I'm so used to chewing a few times and swallowing.
