Yup. I experienced similar but after a few weeks got back to normal.
I had the same, but it came back after a few weeks
How bizarre! I had this too in hospital - but I also had a swollen tongue where a nerve had been trapped - due to being intubated for 12 hours, following my mitral valve replacement.
I assumed my taste had been affected because of this. Tea tasted horrible. It was several weeks before I could enjoy a proper cuppa again post op. I think also the cocktail of meds I was put on also affected things.
So, in my personal experience, my taste did eventually return, but very gradually - over a period of time.
