ayscott74 99 Posted October 13, 2014 Since my sleeve my taste bud aren't the same either. I can't drink milk it taste awful I use to love to drink a cup now, I can't. Some food taste different too. I've been sleeved Aug 11, 2014. So I am 2 month post-op I still have to introduce food back but it doesn't taste good so I don't eat it. So don't worry much it will get back to normal.

GummyTummy 154 Posted October 13, 2014 Anything I have with starch in it, tastes like sugar. Example - one bite of rice tasted like a spoon full of sweetened oatmeal. One bite of potato tasted like sweet potato and so on. It is really a strange deterrent to have starches tasting like sugar. Sugar was not a real vice for me before, but now I get my sweet in with my Protein drink so it isn't a very welcome taste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newbiesleever 57 Posted October 13, 2014 Yes, my taste buds have definitely changed...My surgery was last monday... Whats so weird for me is when I brush my teeth now, I can't stand my toothpaste. It tastes super strong and it almost makes me want to gag... Anyone experience that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lmaher718 38 Posted October 13, 2014 A lot of things don't taste the same.. Some Soups I'm like I liked this stuff. I love my cottage cheese double and that taste a bit off.. Not my toothpaste but I can not use my listerine anymore.: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rovobay 920 Posted October 13, 2014 a few things have been off to me. some things are just way too sweet. crumble of blue cheese tasted way off too last night.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobby46 327 Posted October 13, 2014 When I was allowed to add Peanut Butter....about 3 weeks out....it tasted different, stronger, but not bad. But, it upset my stomach. Now 9 weeks out I love Peanut Butter. I don't think things taste off or bad now but I notice the flavor more. I'm eating a lot slower and I think truly tasting things now. Sweet stuff is too sweet. I used to put chocolate creamer in my coffee...now a tiny bit goes a long way. Just give yourself some time....what tastes bad now might taste good 2 weeks from now.

familyof6 1 Posted October 14, 2014 It will come back don't worry. My taste drastically changed after surgery but now, ten minths later and 100 lbs. down as my hunger hormone is kicking back in I'm noticing my taste reverting to it's old habits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCP 619 Posted October 14, 2014 Most things are way off for me but people say most times it goes away after a short while. I am hoping it's soon. I miss my glasses of ice Water. They taste funny right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
