They were not kidding about taste changes

[ctdan 35]

Found out I do not like bacon anymore.

I love tuna and fish when I used to hate it.

And steak tastes gamey.

What tastes changes have you experienced?

Wow. When did you all notice the changes? Immediately after surgery or how many weeks/months in?

I couldn't stand the smell and taste of eggs after surgery (not that I was a fan before) but now I can tolerate them again and they are okay. My sensitivity to smell and taste are heightened. meat is not my friend on most days. Ugh!

I noticed my 2nd day, when I got home. Propel, Vitamin Water and Powerade are way too sweet. Even when mixed 1 part to 9 parts water.. eww! Super sweet. Smells are very bad. Again super sweet. Before surgery I washed my bedding, my comforter, throw blankets and everything I could. I had to rewash everything in free and clear detergent and use dryer balls instead of fab soft. All of my air fresheners in my house had to be unplugged

I used to love yogurt before surgery. I have tried eating it a few times since my surgery and just can’t stomach it anymore. The taste just gets to me immediately. I also can’t eat tuna anymore. One thing I have found weird also is that my sense of smell seems to be heightened since surgery. I don’t know how or why, but I now smell everything way more than I did pre surgery.

My taste buds are shot also..I don't like anything from Water to food. My surgery date was Sept 14. I've spoken to a few people at support group and some say they got theirs back in 3 months others took longer to get taste buds back..

Same here about heightened sense of smell! We were in the car and I said I smell skunk (we had the windows down) my cousin said I dont smell anything. It took about a minute until she did, at that point my face was in my shirt holding my nose and breathing through my mouth. I thought For sure I was going to throw up!

[BDME 138]

So I decided to try a reese cup at work. Omg it tasted horrible. My stomach took it fine but omg the taste. I threw the other half out. I guess my taste buds weren’t feeling it anymore
