  Get yourself some sugar free cordial or something, it helps. Get a water filter maybe? They’re expensive though

  I’m really sensitive to tastes and smells, lots of treated drinking water tastes foul to me

    I appreciate the thought and comment.

    Every single piece of candy tastes awful, sugar free or regular. Water tasting bad seems to come and go, but whenever it happens all water tastes bad. Tap, softened, filtered, bottled, iced, boiled, everything. Even my own spit can taste bad.

    Some things are getting better though, very few things taste metallic anymore. Maybe just honey. But honestly this has been going on for so long that I don’t even enjoy eating and as of a month or so ago I’ve quit looking for foods that taste good. I’ve just been sticking with what tastes the least bad. 😮‍💨

    Thanks though.

      I’m curious what foods taste least bad to you? Also, did the surgery involve your tongue in some way?

        Yogurt, but only with granola mixed in, which is something I used to never do before.

        Yes, they used some kind of guard that pressed down on my tongue to keep it out of the way. It was fine right after the first surgery, but I had to go back in a couple of days later because of some bleeding and it’s been messed up since then.
