Loss of taste and smell

[nads0802 1]

I am currently 9 weeks out and have not had taste since my surgery nor smell. My smell is coming back very little and so is my taste. It is like I can taste the first bite of something barely and then cannot taste the rest, same thing with the smell. I can smell faintly and then it is gone. Has anyone else had this happen.

Have not heard of that. Call your doc that does seem a bit strange. Not life threatening I would not think but still merits a phone call. Let us know.

I told them already since I have not been able to taste since surgery and then said sometimes it takes 3-6 months to get back. It is a lil frustrating.

wow, well I will have to google it... new one for me. And I can imagine it being very frustrating for you.

Especially the smelling part. I can remember when I was first starting out... I would tell my husband... let me smell what your eating... because I couldnt have it... but the smell seemed to satisfy me.
