Tastebud changes

how many sleevers had their tastes drastically changed with surgery?

Nope.

Artificially sweet things became gross. I haven't had any other taste changes.

I became hyper-sensitive to sweet drinks, all my favorites like Crystal Light Green Tea w/Peach and Mango, and every other powdered SF drink mix tastes gross to me now. And my coffee tasted weird. It took me 3 months to find something cold to drink besides water, and that turned out to be either iced tea or Lipton Diet Green Tea w/Citrus. And it took me 5 months to find a coffee that wasn't just "meh" to me.

They say some people's tastes go back to normal after a year or so. I hope so but I'm not counting on it. I just keep trying things I've never tried before hoping I get a little more variety. So far, haven't found anything else yet lol

Haven't had any issues with food tastes though...savory I'm fine with, it's just sweet drinks.

Yikes, I drink tons of crystal light! Sure hope I don't have to give it up.

I hope so, too! I used to drink anywhere from 2-4 quarts of Green Tea w/Peach and Mango every day. Since the day after surgery, can't drink a drop of it lol I try every couple of months, but so far it's still a no-go!

No problem

No problems here. I never liked super sweet drinks pre-op and I still don't. I drink crystal light, but I dilute it 50% with water.

Not drastically but there have def been changes.Im finding things too sweet now, enjoying certain foods and textures which I would never have before(this is a good thing since it's mostly veggies I didnt eat ).

I'm hoping that is all that changes with mine too as I prefer sweets and loathe most veggies currently.
