My guess to the taste thing is two fold.
#1 I believe that the brain can adjust tastes to what it knows it needs, nutritionally. Hence you hear stories of people peeling plaster off things and eating it or people eating / craving fish eyes or even mud when stranded on islands or stuck out in the wilderness.
Perhaps there are certain trace elements or etc in the foods that taste good to you after surgery.
#2 Or it could be that your mouth has been abused by a TEE camera, breathing tube, etc and 0 moisture during that whole time. I know when I was 10 I didn't want to eat anything. They made me eat and I was very ticked about it. I remember that part. (I also rememeber them using my foot for an IV entrance and missing the vein and my foot swelling up like a balloon)
