Did your taste buds change?

[MozzaWehsha 58]

I am just starting my mashed stage, and I noticed that nothing tastes right. Everything sweetish needs to be more sugary, and potato Soup tastes incredibly starchy, chicken broth has an aftertaste...etc.

fruit juice is the only thing that tastes good.

Yes...I constantly have a weird taste in my mouth...I am on a Atkins type diet because nothing sweetish tastes good.I know the feeling.I don't have that tasteful joy of taste.....but it is ok...I grab a chocolate Premier Protein drink and keep it moving!:-)

Coconut Water and apple juice is the only thing that has the same great taste to me.

Can't do anything sweet myself. Apple juice tastes like straight sugar to me. Also, bread tasted like pure flour (gross). So far chicken has been the best with salsa, my menu has been pretty limited because of my changing pallet.

Huh interesting! I wonder why that is.

I think it's 'normal' for some people in the early stages. I wouldn't worry too much.

For me, the flavours of food returned fairly quickly, although my preferences for specific flavours changed. I savour rather than gobble, and I don't really enjoy sweet foods.

I remember there being a bit of a strange metallic taste for a while. It changes and you will likely enjoy food again. Hang in there!

I am over 4 months out and taste is still off from what it was. The doc says it is normal, connected to hormonal changes.

A friend of mine took 1 year for her taste buds to come back to normal
