When did your tastes change?

[gonefromhere 32]

Last night I mixed up 3 different Protein shakes and 1 yogurt + Protein + flavor before I found something that I could handle the flavor of. I haven't had any problems previously, so last night was a bit of a surprise.

Is this a sign that my tastes are changing?

I usually like to mix chocolate, vanilla, and those types of flavors with almond milk, but those were tossed down the drain. I eventually found a fruit (mixed with water) that I could tolerate. I don't normally drink the almond milk flavors during the day (it's too much effort to take almond milk to work). So I don't think I'm just tired of those flavors, I don't drink them as often as the fruit flavors.

I found a few days after surgery I didn't really like any of the Protein powders I'd so carefully tested out and chosen pre-op. I choked them down for a couple of days and then sent hubby to Walmart for some Premier Protein. I hadn't liked it pre-op but it went down OK at the hospital (that's what they had) and post-op it's the only one I tolerated. After several days of sweet Protein shakes, I was also desperate for something NOT sweet, which is when I discovered I could put unflavored Protein powder in chicken bouillon if I dissolved it in a little lukewarm Water first.

So my tastes started changing right off the bat after surgery. I'm still finding things I used to like that I don't really care for anymore.

My tastes changed right after surgery.

Before surgery I liked Powerade Zero and afterwards, I couldn't handle it. The same with Crystal Light lemonade and the vanilla Premier Protein shakes. I still enjoy chocolate though.

As far as foods go... nothing really for me... except for Waldenfarms Caesar salad dressing. Can't handle it now.

Taste changed right after surgery. I really just didn't know what to do. Couldn't drink Premier shakes anymore. Everything with a strong taste or smell had to go. I can't stand to smell toast cooking. No "garlic" oh my... my favorite season of all times. Not anymore to strong. Will my sence of smell/taste change back?

I'm 3 weeks out and mine changed RIGHT after surgery my taste buds changed. Everything tastes different and foreign to me, guess it is. LOL

^{I guess I'll be the contrarian here. My taste buds didn't change and everything is like it was.}

My tastes didn't change much, but I like a lot more salt than I used to, and I like much spicier foods. I still love the sweets, though.

My tastes are pretty much the same. I don't crave sweets so much and if I do want something sweet, a Protein bar or sugar free pudding works. The only thing I can gag from is peach flavored iced tea. I loved it pre op but can't look at it now.

Huh. I wonder why I had such a hard time last night (3 weeks PO) finding something edible.

My tastes changed immediately... 2 weeks after surgery I devoured green Beans, which I previously hated.
