How food tastes to you--post-op
Things taste about the same, generally speaking.
Artificial flavors taste more artifical. Fruity gum tastes awful--way too sweet.
I can't stand the smell of eggs cooking (but pre-op, I LOVED eggs)
And this isn't a taste thing, but if I take a bite of something, and it's delicious but maybe not the best nutritionally, I don't feel compelled to eat it just because it's there. Before, it would be super easy to just keep eating something, just because it tasted good. Now, taste isn't really the most important thing. I only have so much room, so I don't want to waste it on crap food and risk not meeting my protein quota.

My whole mouth feels different since the surgery...kind of metallic. I keep sugar free mints with me when I'm out because I sense my breath stinks.
I'm sick of sweet protein drinks and crave more spicy foods. Using salsa at nearly every meal, even in my egg whites.
Missing my morning coffee, big time. Somehow, decaf tea just ain't cutting it.

It's gonna be different for everybody. For me, initially, stuff tasted much much sweeter than it used to. Like, sugar free pudding tasted so sweet it made me want to puke. Yogurt that used to taste a little bit sweet to me, suddenly tasted as sweet as, I don't know, something like icing. Really, really sweet.
That went away after a while. Sweet stuff tastes normal to me now, no longer makes me nauseous.

Yep-yogurt and pudding were too sweet right after, but that passed. I HATED sushi before surgery-now, can't get enough of it. I also hated bloody mary's but now I like them (bad example, didn't have one until after the 1st year!)
I also used to like egg salad, but now can't even think about eating it.
Everyone is different...but I'll bet you will have some tastes that change!

I used to love hummus but so far the taste and texture is lost on me. I agree with happy baker that artificial flavors taste more artificial. I can't handle protein mixed with milk yet.
The up side is I eat such a small volume that I can eat the same thing a few meals straight and not get tired of it.
