Post-Op Taste Change

 Question for those that have problems with things tasting bad - were you picky eaters before the surgery or is the change? 

I have no sense of smell due to way too many sinus problems, so I'm hoping this works in my favor. 

Not picky at all. Things I used to love I can't even handle anymore. I loved sweets and even smelling them now makes me recoil, it's so weird. Sometimes I even crave things I've never liked.

Most of who were obese did not get there by being picky eaters. Almost everyone has a tastebud "transition" and may also be sensitive to odors too.  Your favorite foods prior to surgery may not even be to your liking post op.  I had minor issues with odors too. BUT, even 6 years post op, I feel nausea setting in when I smell the odor of cooking bacon. Whenever someone cooks bacon in my home, I run an errand, or use any excuse to leave the house for 15 minutes or so until the odor is minimal.  DAVE

There could be a number of reasons why our taste changes. My food didn't taste the same after surgery but it has come back for the most part. I do think that it is also due to the medicines and supplements that I take during the day. I know that my vitamin and calcium pills leave an after taste that lasts a long time.
