Do your tastes change Post-Op?

I have a family member who had a major portion of his stomach removed (due to illness, not obesity)  and later indicated that Post Op his personal tastes drastically changed.    Before surgery, he really loved coffee, tea, and sweets.   Post Op he says he did not voluntarily decide to give these up, but found he just no longer had a taste for them.   I am curious if that was more physiological or psychological?    Post Ops opinions appreciated. 

7 days post-op and I find that the flavors I absolutely loved in Crystal Lite, I now can't stand.  Wierd.....

I'm 9 months post-op and mine have not changed. 

I have heard and read that this is very common.  

It happens to a lot of people, and not at all to others. I have no idea what the percentages are.

It never happened to me at all.

My tastes have changed somewhat. Immediately post-op, nothing tasted like it did pre-op, but that's probably a side effect of anesthesia. A few months later, I found myself positively CRAVING some things that I didn't like at all pre-op, like cole slaw and deviled eggs. And I discovered that I didn't really like cake, 95% of the time.

I'm 11 years out now, and I still like most of the things I did pre-op, and I still like the things I developed a taste for after surgery. And I still don't care for cake. **** cream is another matter. *grin*)

I find very little that I actually "like" to eat now and I believe it is my brain telling me that nothing is worth gaining weight again.

I was hoping my tastes would change, to make it a little easier to resist bad food, but it hasn't happened to me.  I do find it easier to say no to that stuff, though, just because I'm never really hungry.

I think thats pretty common with any surgery. I've had 3 surgeries prior to my WLS and every time it took my system weeks before anything tasted good again. I have to say with my new sleeve, it only took a few days and now I have no problem. But everyone is different.

Some say this is the side effect of anesthesia.  It took me months before I could stand the smell of pasta cooking.  I had to put a towel under the door to keep the smell out.  Some of my favorite foods I could not eat for months.  But things got back to normal after awhile
