Yeah, we all know your taste buds change post RNY...I know mine did.  But it seems last year (or 2 years ago) and last week when I got the flu my taste buds have been all messed up.  So many things are tasting bitter to me.  Those who got this years flu...has it messed up your taste buds??

absolutely. I have it now... and I need strong tasting foods to be able to eat.
I.e. sour or really spicy is fine, but any thing normally semi bland - is making me sick (taste like cardboard).
I relay of soups a lot when I am sick. Chicken stock base, needed to add tomatoes and squeezed lemon...
Can't really eat or drink anything sweet tasting.  yogurt - no way...
Some fruits are OK. nuts.
