tastes have changed-permanent?

I, too, have had taste changes and food preference changes. At 6 weeks I'm only just beginning to be interested in sweets. Since I've been eating healthier, I'm trying to keep the habit.

I didn't read all the posts here, but mine too have changed. I am 9 weeks post op and actually digging the changes!! Before surgery I was a junk food junkie! Gimme chocolate or gimme death type thing, and I could eat it all day long too and I HATED yes HATED vegetables! Now however sweets make me sick and I can not get enough veggies!! I am loving it (my kids thou, not so much!)

I'm over ten weeks out now and almost back to normal. No longer taking iron supplements either. Taste buds pretty much back to normal. Need to go on a diet!

Good luck x

Good point RDA-Jen I was a carb junkie before now I'm all about the sprouts and broccoli. I think it's the fatigue and stress beforehand that does it.

I was actually thinking about this the other day! I'm glad you posted it

I used to hate raw tomatoes... Now I love them!

And for some weird reason I can't handle any kind of roast anymore! As soon as I carve halfway into it the smell hits, my stomach turns and I just can't eat it

Me too! I usually have sweet iced tea with each meal, and the last few times I've had it (post surgery) it tasted weird. I fill up very fast now too. I have lost a few pounds since the operation, so I will try to keep this up as long as I can!

I am 5 months out of a SAH. I very much noticed my tastes changed after surgery. Mostly it was a good thing. I really only wanted healthy foods. Sweets didn't at all appeal to me. However, I am a coffee drinker and coffee completely grossed me out. I never drank tons or anything, and I don't drink soft drinks. The mere smell of coffee made me gag early on.
All these months later things still aren't quite right. Less than a cup is really all I can handle. (I feel like I need the morning "boost" though I am considering switching to something else) Its kinda sad. Everyone knows I love coffee...got tons of Starbucks gift cards! LOL Pretty much still don't want sweets either. (of course no one really needs sweets)
Anyway...right there with ya.

So glad I found this thread I thought I was going crazy nothing tastes good ..I been feeling low and sad that food is one thing I enjoy I dont even enjoy that right now

No one has mentioned contracting Thrush in the mouth from taking antibiotics. My tongue was more red and hot than it was coated white. But I learned a lot about probiotics and the doctor gave me a medicine called Nystatin oral suspension. I rinsed my mouth out 4 times a day, brushed my teeth often, and I ate yogurt at least once a day. Soon food started tasting "normal".
