I am 6 days post-op and my taste buds are different. Food and drink doesn't taste the same. Has anyone else experienced this?

Most likely your medications.

Yes, painkillers dull your senses along with the pain. I noticed when I was on Tramadol before my surgery, my hearing was dulled and I had to keep asking my family to talk up louder. I noticed the hearing loss in my mom, too (she takes the same painkiller).
