I was banded Thursday and I am having trouble with food smells making me nauseous. I feel like i am smelling everything and everything smells weird. just like being pregnant. I have two small boys and care for them on my own, fixing their eggs sandwiches yesterday almost made me gag! And I swear I can smell the baloney in the frfridgerator from my couch! Yuk! Is this just from being so close out from surgery? I hope my hunger acuity doesn't per innately transfer to some sort of odor acuity.....

I'm telling the boys it's cereal only today.

OMG YES! I've never been pregnant but my smells are heightened. I was sitting at Starbucks and a group of women brought some fried chicken into the Starbucks sat next to be started eating I almost threw up. I noticed it too. I had surgery on 11-6

I noticed this too! Someone sent me a plant with 2 flowers in it and I had to put it in another room b/c the smell.My husbands dinner was gagging too. Now 4 wks out isn't to bad anymore. Hang in there!

I am 15 mos out and some food smells still make me want to gag. It's not always the same food,. Being banded is a continuing learning process. I learn something new all the time

The first few days were bad. My husband cooked for himself and made lots of toast which I love the smell of normally. But when I got home from surgery, I had to go outside every time he toasted something because I wanted to throw up and I was afraid of ruining the surgery I just had. It did pass by the 2nd or 3rd week and I am back to loving the smell of toast. Don't know why that is but it was not good! Hang in there it does get better.

i had this at the grocery store yesterday, my sense of smell was so heightened. i could smell stuff from a couple of aisles away. Day 5 and learning something new everyday

Yes that happened to me. I was at petco and the smells almost made me throw up so I went to two more diff stores n something.....
