cozycastle50 19 Posted May 21, 2016 Quick survey for you "old timers". Do the taste buds come back? If so are there permanent changes to your tastes? I am one month out and nothing tastes good. Also many things taste bitter or bland, nothing in between. I am hoping this changes as I didn't expect this.

Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted May 21, 2016 For me, at a little over 1 year out, the answer is: yes and no. Yes, I can taste the flavor of food. No, some foods just do not appeal to me any more. It is like I have a more sensitive/refined palate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
autymn 27 Posted May 21, 2016 I was sleeved on March 29. I was just this minute thinking that I wish that some things didn't taste good to me or tasted bland. My taste buds have not changed at all. Of course, I haven't really tried to eat anything that's too sweet. Also, I don't seem to have any difficulty with any types of food I have tried. I ate part of a very nice steak last night and, for the first time, had two small bites of dessert just because it was my anniversary.
