When will my taste buds return?
I am 8 weeks post liver transplant and still can't taste food properly. Even drinking water taste weird, which causes me not to want to eat or drink anything. I know this could hinder my recovery but I just can't force myself. Any suggestions?

Mine did. I was a big eater pre liver transplant. But food just did not taste the same after. Even what I liked best. Did not like the taste of water either. But Zevia , a no calorie , no artificial sweetener, soft drink (many flavors) helped with that. Even read science articles that said it lowers both A1C and blood pressure. But eventually the taste/food/water all came back. About 3-4 months was it ? Don't have the why it happens to some of us but it did wear off for me. Best of luck.
