I am 9 days post - op and so sensitive to smells. Even smells that normally would be pleasant gag me and the smell of the Protein makes it difficult to get down. I asked Gaby from Dr. Aceves' office if this was normal and she ha snot heard it from other patients.

I've also had an upper respiratory thing going on; the coughing and the amoxicilln are not helping much. Struggling with the protein because it makes me gag.

Anyone else notice a smell sensitivity and will it go away? I feel like a bloodhound!

The smell thing is normal! I had it too and have read of several others. It passes but it takes time, and being so close out to surgery, I am so sorry that you are also sick. Stay hydrated and everything else will come along.

Take care,

Anna

Since surgery my nose is super-sensitive like a bloodhound too, I can smell things way way way before my husband can. I've had perfectly innocent smells also make me feel really nauseous.

It hasn't seemed to be as strong the last few days, but my first week was definitely smell-overload. I can smell some of my Protein drinks and it does make it difficult getting them down for me.

I was super sensitive to smells after surgery, to the point of gagging. It should go away any day now. I was fine after a week and a half. But boy, that first week was rough. Best of luck.

Totally normal. Baby powder, Lysol and Oust spray sent me into dry heaving fits. Foods just smelled disgusting. . . It gets better.

Yup. It is normal. I am also sensitive to smell now and taste.

My husband is making sushi for himself and the smell of the seaweed made me gag...omg it was absolutely terrible!! Its so weird how smells really affect me now..definitely totally normal..
