Update... 9 days post-op
About the only thing that tasted really good to me was Tom Kha (a mixture of coconut milk, galangal, lemon grass, lime juice, and straw mushroom) chicken soup from the local Thai restaurant. I didn't eat any of the chunky parts. I remember we went to an Indian Restaurant and I had one of their kormas, but just spooned up the sauce and left the meat and rice alone. It was a little spicy, but at that point I don't think I cared.
Frozen yogurt was a good treat. Heavy cream in protein shakes were a god send, but I don't remember when I added that to the diet.
This too shall pass!

Nothing tasted particularly "good" for a good six months for me. Even my absolute favorite foods got a "meh" reaction at best. That being said - you're completely normal, but don't expect much pleasure in it. Ricotta cheese is my favorite soft food, though, and at 7g in a tiny quarter cup, I ate the hell out of it for a couple of years. My favorite was my own concoction "Ricotta fluff". I mixed a tub of ricotta with SF instant pudding mix, then added heavy cream and with a mixer, beat it to my desired consistency. It tastes indulgent, but extremely good for us. You can also add a little tomato sauce to ricotta and melt mozzerella to it and enjoy a wonderful lasagna flavor sans the noodles.
