Does coffee/tea taste different?

All I have ever had to drink is iced tea and water. I hate soda, so I've never had a problem with not drinking it. Lately iced tea just tastes really funny to me and it really bothers me because it's the only thing I enjoy drinking besides water. Anyways, has anyone else had this problem?

Most RNY post ops have some changes in their taste buds after surgery.  You may have loved specific flavors prior to surgery, and hate them post op.  It's a common topic at support groups.  You might consider trying some of the water flavorings, like Crystal Lite, or the Walmart or Target generic brands.

I haven't had any problem drinking tea and water, but where I use to like my tea super hot and my water ice cold, I now prefer luke warm tea and room temperature water.

I had a problem early out but now everything is normal, or the new normal, at least.  Water was the only think I enjoyed right after surgery.

I hated coffee pre-op.  About 8 mo out I tried it again and now I'm  hooked.  I was always a tea drinker, morning, noon, and night.  Now I barely touch it.  I have always hated plain water, still do.  I have gotten where I flavor my water with SF syrups.  I can change the taste with any flavor.  I, too, drink coffee hot bu****er and tea have to be at room temperature.  I don't like "cold" anything except my shakes, and then I sit with a blanket over me the entire time  I drink it.
