Hi, everyone who is having the same problem I had after my tonsillectomy. I got mine out on December 28th 2015 I had a tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, and a sinusitis. I'm 31 so let's just say this was not a breezy recovery for me. But when I got to finally being able to eat nothing taste normal (no flavor) I did some research and found out that it could be a zinc deficiency so I started taking 25mg of over the counter zinc and my taste buds have stared to return I can even taste chocolate :) (not everything is 100% the same flavor but it's close) it's February 7th 2016. Warning do not take more then 25mg your hair will fall out. Good luck!!!
