I had my thyroid removed two weeks ago. Since then I've lost my sense of taste. Is there anything I can do to get it back?

My sense of taste was definately changed. Anything I thought was spicy before is now unbearable. Anything with pepper has got to be kept at absolute minimum. And just in general, things I liked before, I couldn't care less about now. My complete surgery was in June '06
