Also I've noticed that I am shedding hair. My brush was almost full this morning after I brushed my hair. I have had several surgeries and have never had anything like this happen.

Please ask your doctor. Losing taste is sometimes a neurological symptom. Perhaps even call your anesthesiologist, but I am just guessing that losing hair would have more to do with chemo.
Hope you recover your taste and stop losing hair and feel much better soon. I am hoping and guessing you will. Major surgery is just that, a major event.
Kind wishes,
Gracie
