Eveything tastes of sacharin/sweetener since surgery

[bex986]

Urgh my tastes have changed since surgery literally everything I have tastes of sacharin and sweetener even savoury soups and I can't drink milk or milky things anymore or yogurts which I used to love.

Me too, nothing tastes as it did before really, I don't have a sweet tooth, but soup now makes me feel really sick, pretty much everything does to be honest c

Me too! I'm quite amaze, as I don't even like juice any more unless it's warm.
I have to make everything myself from fresh ingredients so I know what's in it!
I can't live without my juicer and blender.

I found my tastes changed after surgery, pre-op I was a 8-10 mugs of tea a day person, post op tea tasted vile (always had it with skimmed milk and no sugar/sweetener) but around the 4 month post op mark my tastes changed and I'm back to loving tea!!

I'm 9 weeks post bypass and am fed up with not liking anything I eat. Like you, all the thinks I loved before, I really dislike now. Its really bizarre isnt it.
I love weak flavoured ice lollies and small pots of low fat custard but that's about it. Every time I really fancy something I think great and either buy or make it and then am soooooo disappointed that I don't want to eat it as it doesn't taste right.

Please God this is a phase x

I have to say, food bores me to tears these days. Nothing tastes like it did pre op and I hate sweet things now. I am 6 months post op. The only thing I enjoy drinking is warm Ribena and even that is very weak.

Oh god me too!!!! By the time it's on my plate I've talked myself out of it !!! Don't enjoy anything anymore, I'm only 5 and a half weeks post sleeve but it's really hard to eat when you just don't like the taste of anything isn't it ? X
