Taste buds are weird after surgery. Things i loved before, like a sugar free iced tea from Walmart or Jello chocolate mousse cups, taste horrible or barely tolerable now. Most fake sugars i cant stand anymore.

Try diluted juice, crystal light or Powerade zero/gatorade g2. Any of the add a squeeze brands too. Sometimes just a slight flavor helps get it down.

If it's tap Water, it's probably the metals or possibly chemicals. What I'd suggest is getting some purified water (reverse osmosis) which gets rid of a lot of that, and has a much more neutral taste. I didn't end up having any weirdness with my taste buds after surgery, but I know a lot of people do. So chalk it up to that.

Funny I thought there was something wrong because they tell you drink all Water and every time I would take a sip I couldn't get it down without pain but I'd it was flavor Water I could and I was a big water drinker before

Hey, you gotta get you fluids in so you might as well benefit.....try drinking a Protein drink like Isopure Zero carb. When I go to the gym I bring the Isopure in my Water bottle. When you are really thirsty, anything wet-n-cold is refreshing.... ;)

I hear alot of this in my support group meetings. I drink alot of Water now - almost the only thing I drink besides unsweetened ice tea.

I am afraid of this happening to me after surgery. (I will find out my date next week) anyway does adding lemon to the Water help? Or would I need to get those drink powders - I try to stay away from artificial sweeteners and everything I see has either aspertame or sucralose in it.

Try adding lots of ice. I never used to like really cold Water but now that is what I drink. There are lots of sugar free mixes and drops to add to water so try some of those too. It's important to get in 64 oz of liquids every day. That includes your Protein Shakes, herbal tea, Soups, etc. Be creative!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
