Issues with sweetness

Does the issue with sweet things leave eventually? I read from so many they can not tolerate sweet post op. OMG they were not kidding it is dramatic. Crystal light packet in a 33oz of water and still too sweet. No truvia in coffee makes me icky sweet now. Coffee is bitter now. Do we adjust or do I venture to find new ways to enjoy or change my coffee and crystal light?

It got better for me. I could not drink Crystal light for 2 months after surgery. Now it is my go-to drink. I never put sugar or sweetener in my coffee, but I couldn't stomach coffee again until about the same time as the Crystal light. Now at 4.5 months post op, I feel like my taste buds are back in working order. But my food preferences have definitely changed.....love chicken pre-op, would tolerate red meat.......now I love red meat and can barely eat chicken. Go figure.0

Never cared for sweet tasting drinks except for lemonade, pre op. I can't stand any of it at almost nine weeks out.0

I find EVERYTHING too sweet now! I used to have a MAJOR sweet tooth, I LOVED my candy! I can't eat it anymore (which is a GOOD THING LOL) because it's too sweet!
Even my beloved starbucks lattes that I get, are too sweet, so I always ask for half sweet, or 1 pump of syrup, depending on what i'm getting.
I have to really cut my crystal light with water. I use double the water or I can't drink it. I also drink it over ice, and let the ice melt.Does the issue with sweet things leave eventually?

I'm 9 months post op, and I still find everything sickly sweet. I hope it NEVER goes away! LOL
I just figured out new ways to enjoy my coffee & crystal light.0 -
You are all right it is a good thing. I adapted my coffee this morning not too bad. I will wait n try crystal light weakened out in week or so, right now triple out is still too sweet, adjustments for sure0

Crystal light tastes the same to me, but other sweet flavors are really intense now.0
