Frustrated with food

I had surgery one month ago and really having trouble with food. I am not only on liquids. Everything tastes funny. My mouth always tastes awful. I know in time I will be able to eat better but I am feeling frustrated. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I think the bad taste in your mouth is the protien drinks and vitamins. I know I have had yuck mouth ever since getting home. Sorry no real suggestions just thought I would let you know you are not alone. Until we are at least 6 weeks Post-op we have no good options. Best of Luck Dawn

Let me assure you that, first, you are not the only one! I also had that bad taste in my mouth for a while. It doesn't last forever....those sugar free mints helped alot in the first few months. The food situation will get better. It will never be the same as pre op eating....and maybe it shouldn't be. In my case, I am grateful for the change. Things do get better!
