Summary

This study looked at 101 adults who had weight-loss surgery to see if changes in taste and smell are linked to 'hedonic hunger'—the desire to eat for pleasure rather than hunger. Participants filled out questionnaires about their senses, eating habits, and diet quality. The goal was to understand how these sensory shifts might affect long-term eating patterns and weight management after surgery.
