Yes and I'm super sensitive to smells. What used to entice me before now nauseates me. I got good advice from another post op sleever to only introduce one new food back into my diet at a time. I think we get so sick of shakes that when we are cleared for more, we think ok and try our old favorite Proteins. And now they're gross to me.

Go figure huh? Lol

Yes I am the same. Even Water is gross and my favorite crystal light drinks are no longer good to me. Im 7 weeks postop.

I loved shrimp before surgery they are not as good anymore. Last week I found a Cappuccino nectar Protein I liked this week it doesnt taste as good.

I've read lots of posts about this...seems to be a common occurrence for people. It's related to being in ketosis I think but supposedly it gets better as time goes by, your tastes return to normal.

I never really had a huge alteration in my taste buds. I'm three years post op and every once in a while if something doesn't smell or taste right, I throw it out! That is something new to me. If my nose or mouth don't like it..... Bye bye.
