Chewing gum, and it's not the same!

Before surgery I chewed gum like people smoke cigarettes!  But now I started backing chewing my favorite flavor Extra Spearmint and it taste like cigarette ash mixed with ground coffee!

When will I ever get my taste buds back! I'm chewing peppermint Extra and not a big fan of peppermint gum! UGH!

I think my tastes started going back to normal about six months or so post op.  At nearly three years out now, I think most stuff tastes like it used to, although it's kinda hard to say for sure 'cause it's hard to remember just how some things tasted.
