dVH/RALH No appetite, everything tastes weird

I'm 8 days out and truthfully, everything has been progressing nicely. This is just a weird symptom that I'm hoping will pass quickly. I've noticed the last few days that everything tastes "weird" and strong smells are making me nauseous. I really have no appetite because nothing appeals to me. There's also a strange taste in my mouth. Anyone else experience any of this. I should mention the last pain pill I took was Tuesday night.

Are you on any antibiotics? Some of those can cause a metallic taste in your mouth and nausea. I hope you get to feeling better! Hugs...

I will be four weeks out on Tuesday and my hubby just took me out to dinner... I just said to him. Nothing taste right... Not even soda. Lol guess I didn't notice much at home cause I thought everything was just blah because I was not cooking.

Thanks. No. No antibiotics. It's really more of an annoyance than anything else.

I had the same thing, especially while on the pain pills but it still lasted for a while afterwards and just gradually went away. Hubby was very excited at first cos he thought we'd save loads of money on Chardonnay.

The anesthesia affected me for about 10 days. I talked with my doc about it at my 1 week post op appt. I was nauseated, had a weak appetite, felt physically fully very quickly, was dizzy and everything tasted "off". I was tired, scatter-brained, and a bit itchy and dry mouthed. I kept asking about these things bcuz I kept my ovaries and was afraid i was losing ovary function. He kept saying "it takes about 10 days to cycle the anesthesia out". And he was right. By about the two week mark I had my old appetite back.

Thanks ladies for the insight and chuckles (chardonnay also being one of my favorite foods). I have a 2 week post op appt, if I still feel yucky then I'll ask my dr.
