Sweet tooth since surgery ?

i have had a sweet tooth since surgery. I never had one before, is this normal?

The more sugar you eat, the more you want. Also, there are vitamin deficiencies that can cause sugar cravings.

For me, it was the exact opposite (RNY).  I always had a sweet tooth before surgery, but since, everything is too sweet, the protein drink they gave me in the hospital tasted like I was drinking pure sugar and before that was not even an issue.  I will not eat a lot of things now because they are way too sweet.

I lost my sweet tooth. I desire none of the confections that I make so well!!! The "savory tooth" is in full gear. But that's OK because a great piece of bacon or chicken fixes that problem.

I would ask the NUT about something that would be good to eat during those times when the tooth is acting naughty. That way you will be prepared with a good food choice.

I found the exact same thing!  I didn't get fat eating sweets.  Just plain eating too much and too many carbs.  I wasn't a cookie, candy person and prior to surgery I never ate anything sweetened.  Never deserts. Plain yogurt was delicious.

Well, after surgery unsweetened foods gag me.  I am adding stevia and sweeteners to my smoothies, etc.  It's crazy.  Why do I want things sweet now where before I was a sour puss?  its a 180 degree turn.
