“…In humans taste is an important factor governing eating behaviour as it contributes to food preference, and it is thought that it modulates appetite and caloric intake [1]. Obese patients report higher enjoyment for sweetness compared with normal weight subjects [2].…”

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of bariatric surgery on sweet taste sensitivity and the hedonic evaluation of sweet, savory, and fatty food stimuli as well as associations with weight loss and food preferences assessed at a buffet meal test. Methods The detection and recognition threshold for sweet taste and the hedonic rating of sweet, savory, and fatty food stimuli were assessed before and after a preoperative diet‐induced weight loss and 6 weeks, 6 months, and 18 months after Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) (n = 29). Results The detection threshold for sweet taste decreased after the diet‐induced weight loss and 6 weeks after RYGB (both P ≤ 0.03). The hedonic rating of high‐fat food stimuli decreased 6 weeks after RYGB and SG (all P ≤ 0.02). Changes in the hedonic rating of high‐fat food stimuli were associated with increased preferences for high‐fat foods at the buffet meal (P = 0.03) and tended to be associated with weight loss (P = 0.05). No changes were detected for sweet and savory food stimuli. Conclusions RYGB increased sweet taste sensitivity; however, this effect was already seen after the diet‐induced weight‐loss. RYGB and SG decreased the hedonic evaluation of high‐fat food stimuli, but this effect did not translate into decreased preferences for high‐fat food.

“…Several review articles have highlighted human studies of changes in preference for energy-dense foods following bariatric surgery [19,21,22]. Some studies utilize reported food intake (e.g., dietary recall, food frequency surveys) to assess changes in food preference across bariatric surgery [19].…”

Associations between Weight Loss, Food Likes, Dietary Behaviors, and Chemosensory Function in Bariatric Surgery: A Case-Control Analysis in Women

et al. 2019

We tested the hypothesis that successful weight loss post-bariatric surgery would be associated with healthier chemosensory function, food likes, and dietary behaviors than either unsuccessful weight loss or pre-surgery morbid obesity. In a case-control design, pre-surgical women with morbid obesity (n = 49) were compared with those 1-year post-surgery (24 Roux-en-Y Bypass, 24 Sleeve Gastrectomy) and defined by excess or percent weight loss as successful/unsuccessful. For self-reported smell/taste perception, more post-surgery than pre-surgery reported improved/distorted perception, especially if weight loss successful. Measured taste function (perceived quinine and NaCl intensity) was lower among weight loss unsuccessful versus pre-surgery patients, yet a genetic variation in taste probe (propylthiouracil bitterness) matched expected frequencies without significant pre/post-surgery difference. Regarding survey-reported liking, higher diet quality was seen in the weight loss successful (independent of surgery type) versus pre-surgical patients, with differences driven by lower sweet and refined carbohydrate liking. The post versus pre-surgical patients had greater restraint but less hunger and disinhibition. Patients reporting both higher diet quality and lower hunger showed greater % weight loss, independent of surgery type. Thus, successful weight loss 1-year post-bariatric surgery was associated with improved or distorted chemosensation and patterns of liking associated with healthier diets, especially if coupled with less hunger.
