Gas, dry mouth & Taste change :(

[Tori Joseph 19]

Hello everyone,I'm 2 weeks and a couple days out. I'm feeling fine.. no pain or anything. but I'm on puree stage and my taste buds have changed a lot..just like they said it would. but it sucks..foods I liked before make me feel like gagging now when I think of it. like I tried salmon the other day something I really loved and I think it's gross now.. yesterday tried chicken and it's the same. I'm really hating this because I need to have my Protein and I really don't want anything going wrong. I also tried some peas and it taste gross as well. also every time I attempt to eat something I feel lots of gas inside of me and I keep burping. I miss liking the foods I use to and it tasting the way it's suppose to. sigh seems nothing taste good anymore. I don't know what to eat.. only 1 Protein shake is allowed in puree stage since they want us to progress slowly onto solids without liquids. so I don't know.. did anyone's taste come back? or does it stay like this forever? :l don't know what to do.. and I really hope the gas stops when eating it's really damn annoying.. also I've been having dry mouth when I wake up which I've never had before..like it's soo dry.. and I drink Water every day I make sure of it.. so yeah these are just some things that's been happening to me..and honestly I don't like it hope it gets better.. :/

Things will get better. It took me about 6 months until I reached my happy state. I have found that Soups and chili were very tasty. I suggest you try them when you reach the stage where they are allowed.

Im only 8 days out. Im having the same issue with dry mouth. And sick stomach is the worst! Im supppse to be on liquids only. Im finding nothing tastes good and nothing sits well on my stomach.

I was allowed liquid/protein shakes for the first 3 weeks, then 3 weeks pureed foods and finally 3 weeks soft foods. All Drs are different. My staple, once I could eat, was cottage cheese and then tuna. Later I love salmon, which I never ate before surgery. All fish tastes good. Tastes change, so try something again. One time you may not like it and the next time you will. I still have 1-2 shakes a day to get my Protein in.. Gas was a problem in the beginning and now if I am burping I know I have eaten too much. Once I burp, I stop eating. It is my trigger now.
