Hiya-
Sorry about the taste thing. I lost most of my sense of smell after my last surgery that was to repair a CSF leak done through the nose over a year ago. It improved in asbout 6 weeks, but never all the way. So now my sense of taste is weak. I don't like it but really had no choice as the ENT surgeon really had to look and move things around a lot.
OMG.... a brownie...oooh.... I remember it took a few months for the numbness to completely go away and taste came back gradually.
It was different though for everyone - some of my buds got it back faster, or were less impaired.
I wonder though if it is the hormones or the actual surgery - since it is 4 years since my adrenals now, and my pepper taste is totally changed - I had to adjust for what I liked after that surgery.
how long did it take you to regain your taste?? Almost 3 weeks still no taste 100
%. Yesterday, I was on a sugar crave and ate a brownie and did not taste it. 500 calories for nothing!!! I am getting anxious about this taste thing..
I remember that too - even with a small tumor, then it was normal.
After my adrenals came out, I can no longer tolerate even pepper. My tastes changed.
it was my 2nd time pit tumor resection, First one was 2 cm , this one was 1.2 cm. After 2 weeks still no taste sense 100 %, but I am hoping by time it will get better. I can taste some but not completely. So far aside from the numbness, this is the only thing that is bothering me.

Kewl! What kind of tumor was it?
Thank you for the update!
I am so glad everything went well for you, it's nice to hear some positive things and what others have experienced with pituitary tumors.
