Taste Buds - acting weird

[HurricaneU 131]

Im almost 2 weeks post op. Started the full liquid diet on Tuesday to include cream Soup. Every time I try a new soup I love it. I'll have some later in the day, and it taste absolutely horrible. Has anyone started eating something for the first time post surgery, whether you had it before surgery or not, but could not tolerate it the second time? If so did it last forever? It's been the weirdest thing and a waste of money so far.

Taste Buds do seem to change even if temporarily. I personal hate all Soups as I did post op. Water Plain is gross & I need lemon to be able to drink it. I guess it just depends.

Hoping it doesn't last

I had this happen after a few days post op. It didn't happen every time but sometimes when I had my yogurt or Protein Shakes they had this weird rotten egg/sulfur taste. Sometimes it would even just be one or two bites would have that taste. It doesn't happen with everything thankfully. I'm onto the soft food stage so I've been blending the Protein with ice and haven't had yogurt as often and haven't noticed the taste again. Hopefully yours goes back to normal soon!

I am now 6 weeks post op and feeling back to normal in almost every respect. The weird tastes that I initially had have completely gone away. My biggest challenge right now is the psychology of developing new habits and not getting roped in to old patterns. I bought a bag of low calorie crackers last week. The first few days I only ate a few but last night I had more and can see where this is not a good time to be introducing these into my diet yet. I need more time to develop new eating patterns that will not throw me under the bus.

Ive tried my best to stay away from any type of bread/flour product. Im also six weeks out. Yesterday I purchased some Barbecue Pork rinds to satisfy that crunch need. Its actually a decent snack, considering for .5oz you get ZERO carbs and 8g of Protien. Just have to monitor the fat intake.
