I'm 6 weeks postop. My taste buds have definitely changed. I feel that my breath smells bad all the time regardless of brushing or rinsing. I guess it's part of the process.

Can't figure it out....

I had the same experience early on. Once I started eating a more balanced diet that taste went away, but my taste buds definitely did change. I can't tolerate super sweet stuff anymore, which is just fine with me! For me I think it had a lot to do with the change to very high Protein content and the fact that I was getting most of my Protein from shakes and yogurt. Once I was able to tolerate animal protein and solid veggies things got a whole lot better.

The breath thing could be from the very low carbohydrate count. It's called "ketone breath." I had a co-worker who used to do low-carb diets fairly regularly and I always knew it because of her breath! I started paying attention to my own breath and I definitely did notice a change. I felt bad for anyone I may have inadvertently offended. Mine goes away with the addition of just a few grams of carbs, though, which I get through my veggies, so I don't even think about it anymore.
